IFT | PROJECT PLANNING AND GRANT WRITING (low cost)
http://www.grassrootsinstitute.in/ift-programs.html
TRAINING BACKGROUND
Project planning or plan making is essential step before submission of
a written proposal to an agency. Planning and writing of the proposals
are critical components of project management. Today perhaps there is
no agency that does not seek written proposal before sanctioning a
project. Thus project planning and proposal writing are extremely
important for NGOs and Government agencies that wish to seek
sponsorship, funding or just support from national or international
support agencies.
Usually the NGOs or Government agencies keep on depending on external
consultants, but strengthening own capacities is sustainable and cost-
effective way. It is not only the NGO personnel who are generally week
in preparing proposals but the Government personnel also lack
necessary skills in writing grant proposals.
This IFT program will focus more on practice of planning and writing
the proposal for getting financial support. The training is fit for
NGO managers, government executives and all others who are involved in
project management.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR INTENSIVE FIELD TRAINING
NGO workers & managers
