Training on proposal writing

Training on proposal writing

The volunteer will be in charge of designing and implementing a training on proposal writing for IADC and HA’s team.

Description

Objectifs

In the Ratanakiri province in Cambodia, support to indigenous communities living in forestry areas is limited.
People for Agriculture Development in Cambodia (IADC) and Highlanders Association (HA) are two indigenous local associations working in Ratanakiri Province to support and empower indigenous communities, so that they can protect their land, natural resources, identity, and rights.
These two organizations have common capacity-building goals.
IADC stopped its activities from 2016 to 2020 after its leader left. The organization has just finalized is new strategy for the 5 upcoming years and is currently looking for funds to implement projects. HA is also looking for funds to implement new projects. (The organization had to step out of landing issues because of the lack of funding.)
For the moment, the executive directors of IADC and HA write proposals. Overall, the teams have small experience on proposal writing and faces difficulties to understand the criterias of the calls for proposals.

The mission’s goal is to provide IADC and HA teams with general knowledge on proposal writing, so the team’s members can better support the executive directors.

Recourse to the support of Planète Urgence volunteers is important because IADC and HA do not have the human ressources for this mission, or the financial means to pay a trainer. Both teams have experience in project management but has not specifically been trained on proposal writing and don’t have the opportunity to attend training on this specific topic.

Intervention attendue du volontaire

The volunteer intervention must cover those topics:
o Introduction to proposal writing (goals, main challenges, the different steps, etc.)
o How to get ready before writing a proposal (writing about the organization, …)
o The actual proposal (problem statement and project rationale, project goal, project objectives, strategies and activities (framework), performance indicators, etc…)
o How to write a concept note.
o Budget and proposal packaging
