Overall targets
The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of local civil society organisations operating in Sierra Leone to become strong and independent development actors, capable of creating long-lasting changes for their target groups.
Immediate targets
The specific objective is to help the participating CSOs to increase and diversify their income and become more sustainable, and more autonomous organisations.
Target groups
The target group is made up by six local CSOs, and two Danish organisations. Three people from each of the local organisations and one person from each of the Danish organisations will participate in classroom training on local fundraising. Besides these 20 individuals, the project expects to reach an additional 300 individuals (spread across the six local organisations) who will increase their knowledge on fundraising.
Resume
The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of local civil society organisations operating in Sierra Leone to become strong and independent development actors, capable of creating long-lasting changes for their target groups. In the project, six local CSOs in Sierra Leone will take part in training in local fundraising by Change the Game Academy and develop, test, and implement action plans to increase and diversify their funding and become stronger, more sustainable, and more autonomous organisations. The CSOs will learn about key strategies and techniques for local fundraising, map the actual and the desired financial situation of their organisation, and develop realistic and tangible fundraising action plans that will help strengthening the organisation’s future development and financial sustainability.
