Workshop on fundraising strategies
ends in Kumasi
Kumasi, July 10, Ghanadot/GNA - A two-day workshop aimed at
providing participants with fundraising techniques through
proposal writing, last Tuesday ended in Kumasi.
Dubbed “The Trainer of Trainers’ workshop, organized by the
Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition (GNECC), was to
build capacity and equip members of the coalition and its
collaborators to be able to raise funds to support its
activities at the grassroots level.
Addressing the closing session of the workshop, Mr John
Kwadwo Owusu, the Coordinator of the Ashanti Regional
Chapter of GNECC, commended the participants selected from
the District Education for All Teams (DEFATS) officials from
non-government organizations Community based Organizations,
GNECC members and civil society organizations for their
active cooperation and contributions towards the success of
the workshop.
He urged members of the coalition and its collaborators to
be committed to the activities of the organisation stressing
that funds for the coalition’s programmes were not
forthcoming.
Mr Owusu said it was against the challenge of raising funds
that the Regional Chapter asked that such a programme be
organised for members so that they could at their local
levels raise funds to support the activities of the
coalition.
The Regional Coordinator stressed the need for the
participants to endeavour to share the knowledge acquired at
the workshop with their colleagues at their workplaces so
that they could also contribute effectively to support the
aims and aspirations of the coalition.
Mrs Sahadatu Alolo, a fundraising advisor to the Coalition,
said it was important to network with other organizations to
raise funds and urged GNECC to be proactive in identifying
possible donors to fund their designed projects.
