Resource Mobilization and Proposal Writing Course

In a rapidly evolving funding landscape, organizations must develop strategic skills in resource mobilization and proposal writing to ensure sustainability, impact, and growth. The Resource Mobilization and Proposal Writing Course is designed to empower participants with the tools, techniques, and frameworks necessary to identify funding opportunities, build strong donor relationships, and craft compelling proposals that align with donor priorities and organizational goals.

Participants will explore both traditional and innovative resource mobilization strategies, including donor mapping, fundraising campaigns, grant acquisition, partnerships, and digital resource mobilization. The course delves into the full proposal development cycle from concept note to submission and highlights key elements such as problem analysis, objectives setting, logical frameworks, budgeting, and monitoring plans.

Through practical exercises, case studies, and peer learning, participants will strengthen their capacity to communicate project ideas effectively and persuasively. Emphasis will be placed on understanding donor expectations, tailoring proposals to different funders (government, foundations, multilateral donors), and avoiding common pitfalls in grant writing. The course also builds skills in relationship management and sustainability planning beyond one-off funding.

This training is ideal for development professionals, NGO staff, grant managers, program officers, and community leaders seeking to enhance their fundraising and proposal development capabilities. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to lead successful resource mobilization initiatives and develop winning proposals that attract support and drive meaningful change.

This course is offered in English only.
