Training topic: Effective Fundraising

After an internal Training Needs Assessment exercise that has been conducted with our members, an important topic that has been identified is effective Fundraising.

The training will adopt a physical delivery methodology unless the situation does not permit it. In this case, we will then shift to online delivery methodology. In terms of training specifics, we are looking at short training sessions to be spread over 2 full days or 4 half days. 

The preferred language of delivery is English. 

We would like to note the importance of providing practical deliverables and action points that LHDF members and in particular LHDF secretariat could include in their organizations' procedures and strategies in the longer-term.
