The West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) is inviting applications for a 4-day training course in Resource Mobilisation and Proposal Writing for civil society organisations (CSOs). WACSI has specifically designed this course to address effective fundraising issues facing civil society actors. The training will look at a combination of strategies to attract requisite resources for the achievement of the organisation’s goal. It also aims at dealing with project proposal writing related challenges in order to ‘strike’ donors attention and raise more interest from donor community and organisation’s stakeholders through winning proposals.
Benefits: The Resource Mobilisation and Proposal Writing training will enhance your organisation’s capability to effectively raise funds and mobilise human and material resources. It will improve participant’s knowledge on the most up-to-date strategies and reinforce their skills in proposal writing.

§ Understand the major trends in resource mobilisation and the reasons for giving;
§ Critically analyse the strengths and weaknesses of your organisations’ existing resource base;
§ Formulate a simple plan on how to diversify the resource base;
§ Identify main funding sources and appropriate methods to secure them; and
§ Learn how to write a winning proposal.
