Training on resource mobilization and proposal writing

About the Course

The ability of development partners to implement their project interventions is dependent on their access to donor funding. Access to these funds requires submission of proposals for consideration by the potential donors. Project results should be effectively communicated and shared through good reports.

For sustainable and effective implementation of project interventions, it is essential that organizations have the capacity to design, write and deliver high quality project proposals and reports.  This course aims to equip participants with skills in writing and presenting effective and successful proposals. 

Training methodology

STrI transformational centers believes in two training approaches applied in each course—theoretical and practical. The theoretical aspect of training is delivered in lectures by highly experienced professionals from the relevant domain, using detailed audio-video presentations. Trainee participation is encouraged through group or individual assignments, knowledge to action projects and other such activities.

Case studies are discussed in detail to help trainees relate the training content to practical scenarios. However, the major aspect of practical training involves sample projects assigned to trainees (Knowledge to Action) during the course of the training. Experiential learning is also focused upon.

This course follows a unique approach adopted by STrI, called the Do–Review–Learn–Apply Model.
