Dear Partner,
Asset Africa Institute, (www.assetafrica.co.ke), is pleased to announce the following seminar set to take place in April 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya.
Seminar Name: Proposal Writing & Fund Raising Specialist Seminar
Date: 15th -17th June, 2016
Venue: Mombasa, Kenya
Need for the Seminar
Donor resources are usually limited and in great demand from competing needs; consequently, donors have to decide where best to use these diminishing resources in terms of geographical area, region, problem issue or challenge.
This means that your organization needs to contextualize your project in such a way that you show that the problem or opportunity being addressed fits the donor concerns, that tackling the problem or using the opportunity in the area or areas defined in the project is important, and that the potential benefits to the targeted beneficiaries are significant and sustainable to fit within the broader aim of the project.
When writing project proposals for purposes of accessing donor funds, many writers confuse it with thesis writing and miss out on donor funding. This training will equip you with skills on the nature, extent and quality of information you need to provide the donor with.
It will be appreciated that Proposal Writing & Fund raising activities form the backbone of any development organization; hence, for sustainable strategies, organizations must enhance their skills and capacity on fundraising and proposal writing by equipping their key members of staff with the emerging and modern trends in Proposal Writing & Fund raising today.
