Training Course on Project Proposal Writing and Fund-raising
Nepal’s communities need sustainable and effective development activities. For the financing of these development projects, organizations are usually dependent on foreign donor agencies. The quality of development projects is of the prime importance for Nepal’s future and at the same time competition for funds is growing. Therefore, the art of project proposal writing and fund-raising becomes a more and more important skill for development organisation.
Although the main focus of this three day course is on development projects and NGOs; the basic structure of a project proposal is also suitable for different types of projects or activities, e.g. for seminars or commercial activities that require funding.
- How to plan for an effective development project ?
- What are trends in development aid ?
- How to describe a problem situation clearly ?
- How to present project ideas clearly?

These and other question will be addressed in Training course on Project Proposal Writing and Fund-raising.
