Quick Summary
Sustainable Development Project Design, Funding & Management.
A Six Month, Mentored, Sustainable Development Certificate Program for Development Professionals.
Are you a self starter? In this six-month mentored training we will look at designing a new sustainable project that will meet your nonprofit’s mission and your clients’ needs. It will present a compelling story to donors and provide project management tools to run it successfully: start to finish!
STEP 1: PROJECT PLANNING.Months 1 and 2: In the first two months you will develop a sustainable development project that fulfills your NGO’s mission and that includes community input from a participatory needs assessment. You will research solutions to the special challenges in your sustainable development project in order to refine your nonprofit project’s activities. You will also develop a set of project management and presentation documents-such as a budget, logframe and a fact sheet for your donor communications.
STEP 2: PROJECT FUNDING.Months 3 and 4. In months 3 and 4 you will package your compelling sustainable development project concept for a donor presentation. You will then identify a potential donor and make an appointment to present it.
STEP 3: PROJECT MANAGEMENT.Months 5 and 6. In months 5 and 6, while waiting for the funding to roll in, you will select a series of no-cost/low-cost activities from your sustainable development project design. You will develop ownership within the community and officially launch the sustainable development project. You will learn how to launch, manage and develop long-term sustainability in your sustainable development project.
Bonus: This new sustainable development project design can be used as a template for rejuvenating existing nonprofit projects for greater successes.
