Description

Whether you’re at a country office or the headquarters for your NGO, this course helps team members effectively manage the proposal process by learning how USAID works. You will also learn the processes and challenges of responding to RFAs, RFPs, and NOFOs (Notice of Funding Opportunity) and how to overcome them for proposal success.

Our facilitators have experience both applying for (and receiving) USAID as well as managing multi-million-dollar programs. Their NGO experience as well as their skills navigating USAID makes this course uniquely practical and aligned with your organization’s pain points.

What you will learn

  • Analyze RFAs and RFPs from technical and cost perspectives
  • Submit proposals using the USAID Request for Application/Request (RFA/RFP) format
  • Manage the proposal process either as a direct responsibility or in partnership with others
  • Establish effective internal roles and processes to develop the proposals
  • Develop an action plan to enhance the business development process, including anticipating solicitations and planning proposals in advance

Given that Resource Development is a relatively new field, with very grey professional training areas, I found the course materials very well researched, well organised and delivered in a manner that was simple, precise and easy to understand. This is one of the greatest courses I have ever attended! Thank you so much Humentum!
