* What is QASRO?
QASRO (Quality Assurance System for Refugee Organisations) is a tool to help you run your
organisation, which can be used at your own pace and according to your own resources, to
help you make improvements to develop in the long term. QASRO will enable you to
improve the communication within your group, implement good practice and to enhance
your fundraising abilities. The QASRO learning programme will help you to find more about
this tool and to learn how to use it.
Yours Sincerely,
Bini Araia
