This 10 hour Results Based Project Design and Logical Framework Approach course will enable participants to design a project using stakeholder analysis, problem and objective analysis, the Logical Framework approach, activity planning and budgeting.  The course will also explore different proposal structures and ways of preparing them for submitting to donors.

The course starts with understanding the relevance of the problem to be addressed, how it has arisen and who is closely involved.  Is there a case for intervention?  The course will explore the challenges for identifying stakeholders and engaging with them in formulating the proposal and ensuring decisions are evidence based.  Finally the course will introduce participants to preparing project proposals that are well structured, clearly focused, comprehensive and very readable. By the end of the course participants will have gained the skills and experience to design and prepare a project proposal which they can use in their work.

Participants

The course is aimed at staff who are actively involved in designing and preparing project proposals.  Participants will be able to meet, online, people from around the world who are also actively engaged in project development and have the opportunity to work together and exchange experience and ideas.  Participants will receive a Toolkit and other supporting materials.
