Overview

The primary objective of compiling an effective Grant Proposal is to convince the grant provider that the funds requested will add intrinsic and sustainable value to both society and humanity. The protection of the fundamental human rights of victims and non-combatants in the event of armed conflict is currently a key focus for the purpose of securing international donor funding. International Donor Funding Agencies are amenable to the provision of funding when the rationale is the sustainability of superordinate objectives, e.g. The Millennium Development Goals. Both the emerging economies of the world, inclusive of BRICS as well as other Third World nations are wrought by conflict and humanitarian as well as natural disasters. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Convention provide generic frameworks within which to include superordinate Millennium Development goals and subsequently pursue the attainment of International Donor Funding.  The course structure and content enable the delegate, post course completion to expeditiously assimilate and subsequently implement effective grant and proposal writing skills.
