BROCHURE FOR COURSE ON RESOURCE MOBILISATION

The opportunities in the voluntary sector have grown phenomenally but the resource availability has become difficult. Increasingly, the lack of professional approach to mobilise resources, is a barrier in sustaining programmes undertaken by voluntary agencies. If the dedicated NGO employee is appropriately trained in strategy making and operational techniques for mobilising resources, this challenge can be met. To this effect, the ‘Course on Resource Mobilization’ is a professionally relevant course for individuals within the non profit undertaking, interested in enhancing their management capabilities. As this would be a selective batch of 30 students, we are requesting NGOs to nominate their candidates at the earliest.
