This morning, they attended a participatory workshop on proposal writing. Later in this training course, they will be expected to produce “Action Plan” supporting PWDs, which are to be implemented on their return to their home countries. Today was the first day to learn about how to do planning and drafting such a proposal.
The lecturer is an NGO consultant specialized in project planning. She first talked about “What is an Action Plan?” and conducted a brain-storming session to help the participants come up with ideas for their own projects.
Subsequently, the class discussed components of a project plan – such as goals & objectives, background, stakeholders and possible impacts. They were asked to come back with their drafted proposal to a next workshop.
Many thanks to the convener, and good luck to the participants…!

Many thanks to the lecturer for the clear introduction to organization management…!
