- Analyse data and draw conclusions / identify lessons learned
- Plan your writing around the report’s objectives and your reader’s needs
- Organise your ideas in a logical, persuasive way
- Communicate clearly and in a way that keeps your readers interested and alert
Through the Project Planning and Proposal Writing modules, you will learn how to plan, draft and edit a persuasive proposal that:
- Identifies and describes the problem to be solved – one that aligns with your donor’s area of interest
- Sets out a straight-forward solution
- Convinces donors you can deliver
As a result, your proposals will be well-organised, clear and persuasive - contributing to better relations with donors and increased donor support.
