Project Planning and Proposal Writing
We cannot plan projects based on what worked in the past; nor can we achieve success
if we allow our perceived limitations to control us. This workshop encourages
participants to become 'problem solvers' who can:
Objectively analyse the existing situation and identify the root causes
of problems
Set appropriate and achievable objectives
Select a justifiable approach
Develop a programme of activities to achieve their objectives
Set appropriate indicators
Communicate their proposal to donors clearly and effectively
What you can expect from this 5-day programme is to:
Develop your ability to investigate problems, analyse alternative strategies
and plan a relevant course of action
Develop your ability to organise these ideas in a suitable format for potential
donors
Understand the principles of how to write an effective proposal, considering
the reader's / donor's point of view
Develop a thorough understanding of your own project concept so that you
can justify it to potential stakeholders
Learn a methodical approach to developing proposals
Participants are usually NGO leaders and senior staff of INGOs and bilateral
development agencies. Methods include group discussion, presentations from
the trainers and participants, frequent problem solving tasks and extensive
practical work based on participants' own project concepts. Each workshop

the typical schedule is:
