Project Description

A. What Key Result Area (KRA) of the Foundation for Civil Society does your project address?

Civil Society Capacity Strengthening

B. Briefly describe how does your project addresses the KRA selected above.

THE ORGANIZATION LEADERS AND ITS MEMBERS LACKED ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE IN LOBBYING AND MANAGING THE ORGANIZATION. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE ORGANIZATION FAILED TO PREPARE CONVINCING PROPOSALS WHICH COULD RISE FUND TO MEET ITS OBJECTIVES. IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT SOLVED THESE PROBLEMS BY EQUIPPING LEADERS AND MEMBERS WITH PROJECT WRITE UP SKILLS, LOBBYING AND ADVOCACY SKILLS AND ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT SKILLS WHICH WERE NEEDED FOR EFFECTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION. NOW, ALL LEADERS AND MEMBERS CAN PREPARE PROPOSALS. EVEN IN THE SCENARIO OF CHANGING LEADERSHIP, STILL THE ELECTED WILL BE ABLE TO ORGANIZE, PREPARE AND IMPLEMENT PROJECTS.

Lessons Learned

Describe any experience and ideas that you obtained from implementing the project

Explanation
THAT WE WERE PREPARING PROPOSALS WITHOUT FORMULA IN MIND TO GUIDE US. WE WERE STATING THE PROBLEM AS IT IS WITHOUT CONSIDERING LOGICAL RELATIONSHIP OF ISSUES. THE FORMULA IN PREPARING LOGICAL FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS WE LEARNT DURING THE TRAINING WILL IMPROVE OUR FUTURE PROPOSALS
THAT GOOD LEADERSHIP IS DETERMINED BY BALANCING TASK, TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITIES. AND THAT LEADER'S BEHAVIOR IMPACTS ON THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. SO THE BEST LEADERS ARE THOSE WHO CAN USE MANY DIFFERENT BEHAVIORAL STYLES AND USE THE RIGHT STYLE FOR EACH SITUATION
THAT LOBBYING AND ADVOCACY IS A PROCESS WHICH INVOLVES IDENTIFYING ISSUES, SETTING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, DEVELOPING A MESSAGE AND IDENTIFYING TARGETED AUDIENCE, BUILDING SUPPORT BY CREATING ALLIANCES, DEVELOPING IMPLEMENTATION AND ACTIVITY PLAN FOR THE ADVOCACY WORK, PLAN IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND EVALUATION AND REVISION OF ADVOCACY PLAN
