2014 Rwanda Country Training on Resource Mobilization, Project Planning and Proposal Writing

	Dear All,
	The 2014 Rwanda Country Training on Resource Mobilization, Project Planning and Proposal Writing will be held fromOctober 27th to 31st, 2014 at Centre Christus in Remera, Gasabo, Kigali. This training has been organized by Regional Partnership for Resource Development in collaboration with the JESUITS (The Society of Jesus). The training is part of the Regional Partnership for Resource Development capacity building programme on Resource Mobilization, Community Development and Project Management aimed at mediating organizational development constraints through improved skills and knowledge. This training is the First Module to be organized within the framework of the new capacity-building programme and aimed at making participants more confident in their ability to raise resource and manage their organizations and projects more efficiently and effectively. The training aims at enabling organizations in the Region in mobilizing resources and building-up their capacity to fundraise more effectively for priority projects and facilitate the implementation of their activities.
	Diploma in Resource Mobilization, Organizational Development and Project Management
	This training is part of the Four Modules leading to the attainment of a Diploma in Resource Mobilization, Organizational Development and Project Management. Previously the entire course had Six Modules; however, we have incorporated topics from the 5th and 6th Modules into Modules I, II, III and IV, in order to shorten the time our trainees take to attain their Diploma. The Diploma is awarded by the International Institute of Fundraising in collaboration with Shareworld University.
	Module I: Training on Resource Mobilization, Project Planning and Proposal Writing
	This training is the First Module to be organized within the framework of the new capacity-building programme and aimed at making participants more confident in their ability to raise resource and manage their organizations and projects more efficiently and effectively. It is part of a series of workshops designed to help strengthen the resource base of non-profit organizations in the Region. The training aims at enabling organizations in the Region in mobilizing resources and building their capacity to fundraise more effectively for priority projects and facilitate the implementation of their activities. There is availability of untapped resources within the Region which can be identified and mobilized for various activities. But a major cause for lack of resources for many institutions has been identified as inadequate capacity for analyzing, planning and enforcing resource mobilization activities. Scarcity of information on resource mobilization has also been identified as an impediment. Mastery of resource mobilization, project planning and proposal writing skills dictates that Organizations and individuals should learn and practice the art of resource mobilization. At the same time they must enhance their practical road- map for resource mobilization success in a highly competitive philanthropic and financial environment.
