African NGOs and community organisations compete for limited donor funding, and a sharp concept note is often the gateway to a full proposal. This course teaches practitioners to articulate a problem, a theory of change and a credible plan in the concise formats donors expect. Delegates practise writing concept notes and proposals that are clear, logical and aligned to funder priorities.
