Nairobi, 01 March, 2020 / 9:00 pm (ACI Africa).
Catholic Church institutions and other Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) that have relied on donor funding for their sustainability have been advised to seek “alternative ways” for resource mobilization to sustain their projects during a two-day workshop held at a Catholic institution of higher learning in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, with participants advised to become aware of “donor fatigue.”
“Because of the donor fatigue and other factors, organizations have to learn alternative ways of mobilizing resources for sustainability,” the Program Coordinator of The Leaders Guild (TLG), Sr. Margaret Mutiso told ACI Africa in reference to the key highlights of the two-day workshop at the Nairobi-based Tangaza University College (TUC) that brought together some 83 participants from nine Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and 17 Religious Congregations across Africa.
TLG is a leadership development programme aimed at developing holistic servant leaders and is hosted at TUC.
Sr. Mutiso underscored the importance of resource mobilization skills for any leader saying, “like now we have this donor fatigue, organizations have to learn alternative ways of mobilizing resources for sustainability."
"We hope that by the end of the workshop they will have mastered these skills and also know how to write winning proposals," the Kenyan-born nun said during the Friday, February 28 interview.
