Stakeholders Workshop for Phase 2-SGF Projects

Stakeholders Workshop is an important mechanism to carry out granting activity. The workshop is a combination of orientation meeting, capacity-building process on MFF and its Small Grants Programme, and natural networking process. In essence, the workshop provides an opportunity to project proponents, members of National Steering Committee (NSC) and other stakeholders to share experience and lessons learnt that would result in upgraded and most responsive-to-MFF/SGF concept papers/pre-proposals submitted earlier.

Since the opening and call for proposal for Phase II MFF/SGF, 20 NGOs/CBOs had submitted concept papers for funding. Only 11 of these were pre-screened as most responsive to MFF/SGF thus deserving quality upgrading in the Stakeholders Workshop held during 29-30 September 2011.

The contents of the workshop were outlined and proceeded by SGF Team and NSC including NCB Working Group conducting these major sessions; MFF/SGF characteristics and relevant national strategy, Concepts for Community Motivation, Result-Based Management/A Results Chain and Guideline on Writing SGF Proposal, for example.

After the workshop, the upgraded proposals would be completed and submitted to MFF/SGF within October 14, 2011, for further process of grant-making.
