Good proposals get the backing; bad ones don’t. The ability to deliver a successful humanitarian project depends heavily on the quality of a proposal. This course will teach participants how to design and prepare high quality project proposals that are compelling and motivate a stakeholder to take action.

Main objectives:

  • To learn the main tools for project planning and management, such as the logic model, stakeholder analysis, problem tree, and risk analysis, and their importance at the proposal-writing stage.

  • To be able to produce a proposal that uses appropriate language, layout, and structure, resulting in a logical and persuasive proposal likely to attract funding.

  • To know the ‘how, when, and who’ of communicating with funders during the grant process.

What will you learn?

  • 1

    Planning: How to plan for the proposal writing process and engage key stakeholders in it.

  • 2

    Demonstrating change: How to demonstrate how the project will effect change using the ‘Theory of Change’.

    Logical framework: The purpose and use of a logical framework and how to distinguish between its different levels.

Train The Trainer Programme was a great opportunity for me to connect with all trainers in the field who know best the context of Yemen and in specific the Civil Society Organisations in Yemen. HAD provided me with the right skills & knowledge to be able to tackle some difficult projects and tasks in my field of work. The academy is helping to leave a legacy and build the true capacity of local CSOs and to also have a team of local experts and trainers like myself who’ll be ready to provide training for the purpose of improving the performance of CSOs for the benefit of the Yemeni citizens.

Khalid from Yemen on the TTT programme

“The training added new information and knowledge to my understanding which reflected in my report writing and proposals directed to stakeholders, decision makers and donors. I am now able to write reports that are more comprehensive clear, and rich with information. Since the training, we have secured new projects and are aiming to have long-term ones as well to ensure we maintain the sustainability of our association and benefit large numbers of vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip who are suffering from difficult conditions.” I’d like to give a massive thank you to HAD who helped me improve my skills and transformed my abilities as a humanitarian.”
