Background of the Course:

One of the key reasons that there is no meaningful development in the third world especially in Africa is the lack of capacity by beneficiaries to implement sustainable
programmes. Statistics have shown that many programs and initiatives
being pursued by a majority of Community Based Development Organizations are not sustainable and die out within the initial stages of implementation due to lack of adequate
funding and human resources to effectively realize the intended goals and sustain the programmes.
The situation is compounded further with majority of these development organizations
depending only one donor or none at all, while a few others have numerous
donors willing to partner with them through funding their various development programs.

The biggest challenge facing most of these organizations is lack of adequate appropriate in-house capacity to attract the right donors to the organization. With the right skills and capacity, there are thousands of donors for available to fund your projects out there. However many organizations, unfortunately, are still grappling with key fundamentals issues such as; where are the donors? What projects get funding? What the current donor priorities are? And how to approach donors for
funding.

The Proposal Writing & Fund raising online and distance learning training program is professionally designed to address these pertinent issues in a global perspective. This
training will equip you and your organization with up to date information
