President Kufuor of Ghana to Declare Friends Africa Grassroots Seminar  Open this September

President John Kufuor of Ghana will declare Friends Africa and AfriCASO’s innovative NGO Grassroots seminar open on September 15th 2008 in Accra Ghana.
Friends Africa and AfriCASO are partnering on this customized Grassroots NGO Capacity Building Seminar to increase the planning, evaluation and fundraising capacity of 60 health-focused African grassroots non-governmental, faith-based and community-based organizations.

This unique seminar which is being spearheaded by the UN Special Envoy on AIDS to Africa and Vice Chair of the Global Fund, Elizabeth Mataka will build the grant writing, project implementation and monitoring and evaluation capacity of participating organizations. The seminar will include breakout sessions involving representatives from donor organizations, proposal development and networking opportunities for all participants. The outcome of this initiative is for participating organizations to scale up their activities through increased funding that will only come with better proposals and implementation of existing projects. A six-month support period will follow the seminar to track participants’ progress towards desired outcomes.  How to Participate
