Steps involved in preparation of a Request, Implementation & Reporting When Seeking support of religious or socio-economic Projects
A Guide to fund seekers • Important Considerations • Presenting a Proposal • Implementation • Reporting
SEEKING ASSISTANCE IS A PROCESS …from a felt need to designing a proposal ……. • Carefully planned programs • well-organized applications • sent to an appropriate agency • Are more likely to be approved.
Part IImportant Considerations in Seeking Assistance • Types of aid and specific interests • Application procedure • Language to use • Time to apply • Most agencies like to co-sponsor projects • Aid organizations want to help people in need, people like you…
When unsure, contact the agency for clarification • Never beg! - You are “Members” and “Partners” • Ask your colleagues where and how they get assistance for their projects • Know the priority projects of the agencies
Agencies that have supported you in the past will normally want to help you again • Conclusion: Why is it that people have never obtained project assistance from international help organizations? 1. They never applied 2. They did not apply correctly 3. They gave up soon
OVERVIEW OF AGENCIES FOR DEVELOPMENT shift from a “development project” to a “development program” Long-term and integrated with the wider development needs and activities. Geographic concentration support in countries or regions due to strains on personnel and funds; requests for support are handled through local field offices or contracts. A preference which are initiated and coordinated by local groups. A shift from a “donor-recipient” model to a more mutual partnership model, both sides give and receive information and materials provided. A shift in working with individual partners to partner organizations (Local NGOs, Grass Root Development Organization, local Church groups, women’s groups, etc.
OVERVIEW OF AGENCIES FOR DEVELOPMENT • planning a proposed program from its initial stages, rather than receiving a proposal for an already completed plan. • Initiatives be implemented by groups having similar needs or resources in other parts of the world:- Children with children, women with women. • lower priority to construction projects, - large, costly, and not well-adapted to the region’s needs and resources. • higher priority programs focus on small-scale community development, training, and empowerment. • Increasing priority of sustainability, accountability, and local contribution in agency decisions.
