ABOUT THE COURSE
Proposal and report writing serve important functions in humanitarian agencies and are common and necessary tasks for staff in various levels and roles throughout the organization. Nevertheless, writing proposals and reports can be challenging. The ability of NGOs to deliver aid is dependent on their access to funds, and the quality of project proposals determines whether or not funds are ultimately received. Reports must analyze the information that is presented, draw consistent conclusions, and make sensible and practical recommendations, otherwise they risk falling short of their objective.
It is essential for the operation of humanitarian programmes that organizations have the capacity to write and design high quality project proposals and reports. This course will analyze and unpack the elements that make for an effective and successful proposal. Participants will be introduced to best practices in proposal writing, helping them to develop their knowledge, skills and efficacy in writing, presenting and defending proposals. Report writing will also be covered, equipping participants with techniques for writing clear and engaging reports that encourage the reader to act upon their recommendations.
