Toolkit for Mobilizing Resources for HIV/AIDS Workers
This toolkit builds on the understanding that mobilising resources (primarily money) is a vital need for any NGO/CBO. However, it can be a daunting task for many of us and can take an unnecessarily large amount of time if not planned well. This toolkit introduces an approach to planning and carrying out resource mobilisation strategically and systematically to ensure that maximum returns are gained for the least effort and that NGOs/CBOs remain true to their missions. The overall aim of the resource mobilisation toolkit is to: build the confidence and skills required by NGOs/CBOs to strategically and systematically mobilise resources for HIV/AIDS work. The toolkit provides a collection of information and skills-building activities which can help NGOs/CBOs to: • Think imaginatively about different approaches to resource mobilisation
• Learn how to plan resource mobilisation work so that it is needs driven rather than donor driven
• Develop key skills, such as proposal writing and meeting and maintaining relationships with resource providers.
This toolkit focuses on resource mobilisation, rather than fundraising, on the assumption that NGOs/CBOs can benefit from mobilising a range of resources rather than money only; for example, technical assistance, human resources, material goods and free services. ‘Resource provider’ is a broad term used throughout the toolkit to describe individuals or institutions that provide a range of resources, including money.
The toolkit does not attempt to cover specialised fundraising approaches such as income-generation and fundraising events – however, useful references are provided in the Handouts at the end of Section
