The training was meticulously planned to cover various aspects of proposal and concept note development, ensuring that staff gained a holistic understanding of the process. Participants were introduced to the perspectives and expectations of funding organizations. Much of the training was dedicated to project design, emphasizing the importance of a well-structured and logical approach. Participants gained insights into budget development, financial planning, and ensuring that funding requests are realistic and in line with project goals. The training included practical sessions on writing proposals and concept notes, focusing on clarity, conciseness, and persuasiveness.
