CAPACITY BUILDING IN ORGANIZATION, GOVERNANCE AND RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
RE: INVITATION TO START-UP CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND SMALL NGOs IN ORGANIZATION, GOVERNANCE AND RESOURCE MOBILIZATION ON 3RD MAY 2013 AT CONSCIENCE INTERNATIONAL (CI) LIBRARY - FAJARA
TRAINING OBJECTIVE:
The training will impart organization and governance, fundraising and resource mobilization skills to staff and volunteers in start-up charitable organizations and or small NGOs.
Development organizations depend on fundraising skills and efforts to survive. In the absence of good ideas and skilled proposal development staff or volunteers, most organizations and their programs cannot survive for long. Public perceptions about the excesses and big consumerism by the Non Governmental Organizations and the United Nations Staff is only a mirage to thousands of struggling organizations that contribute immensely to illiteracy, poverty and disease reduction. The truth of the matter is that program and fundraising officer’s work tirelessly to keep their organizations afloat. In the absence of good ideas, effective fundraising skills and strategies most organizations will not grow and collapse in the formative years. The key most important skill that an organization must have is an effective fundraising manager. Fund raising in the development sector is a very competitive and equally labor intensive. NGOs like businesses must therefore market themselves and have innovative and effective strategies for success. During the fundraising activities, there are key skills and tips that program officers must learn to win grants especially in the call for proposals.
Organizations grow when they are organized and have good structures. Program officers and leaders of NGO/CBO or Charitable Organization need to appreciate that organization, good governance and fundraising is an art that must be mastered. No matter the good intention and the vision of the NGO/CBO or Charitable Organization founders may have, the driving force for the organization is proposal writing, fundraising and effective project management skills. Most donors funding programs in the region are already concerned about exit strategies and sustainability for many projects under implementation. One of the ways to guarantee sustainability is capacity building in the organization management and fundraising area as funds have become very competitive. Donors and organizations must invest in fundraising skills for their staff in the short and long term as part of the project sustainability plan.

1. Organization and governance
