FINAL REMINDER FOR WORKSHOP ON PROPOSAL WRITING ON 27TH-29TH MAY 2009

Dear Partner,

INVITATION TO THE PROPOSAL WRITING AND FUNDRAISING WORKSHOP FROM 27TH-29TH MAY 2009 AT THE SCHOOL OF MONETARY STUDIES, THIKA ROAD

Organized By: CAPACITY CONCERNS AFRICA AND PURPLE IMAGES PRODUCTIONS


Training Brief Description:

Development organizations depend on fund raising skills and effective project management to survive. In the absence of good ideas and skilled proposal development staff and effective project management, most organizations cannot survive beyond ONE year. Public perceptions about the excesses and big consumerism by the International NGOs and the United Nations Staff is only a mirage to thousands of struggling indigenous organizations that contribute immensely to poverty and disease eradication.

The truth of the matter is that programme and fund raising officers work tirelessly to keep their organizations afloat. In the absence of good ideas, effective fund raising skills and strategies most organizations will not grow and will collapse in the formative years. The key most important skill that an organization must have is an effective fund raising manager. Fund raising in the development sector is a very competitive and equally labor intensive . CBOS/ NGOs like businesses must therefore market themselves and have innovative and effective strategies for success. During the fund raising activities, there are key skills and tips that programme officers must learn to win grants especially in the call for proposals. Effective project management skills ensures sustainability for projects

Capacity Concerns Africa and Purple Images Productions have identified proposal writing as a REAL need among many organizations in Kenya and have dedicated time and energy for capacity building in this critical area.
