CEVA has been functioning as a facilitator and mentor for the development of the charitable organizations, CBOs, and NGOs associated with the CMI congregation. Networking and capacity building among these organizations have become an imperative, and this is one of the tasks that CEVA has been addressing in the recent past. Considering the geographical spread of the network organizations, the perspective-building and capacity-building programmes were organized at the provincial level.
