Local
Resource Mobilization (LRM)
|
|
In the last decade, the wave of globalisation and its
attendant economic reforms have required cutbacks in
state spending. This has increasingly left the
non-profit organization sector with the burden of
delivering social services. Despite the enormous
contribution of this sector towards socio-economic
development, it remains deeply and unsustainably
dependent on foreign resources
East
Africa
has numerous resources, most of which are either
misused or simply not harnessed effectively.
Therefore, this particular programme area focuses on
increasing the capacity of Non-profit organizations
to mobilise local resources for their work
|
|
This programme objective encompasses activities that:
|
|
- Help
select NGOs and CBOs through a peer learning
process.
|
|
-
|
|
- Provide
technical assistance to organisations on
prerequisites for effective resource mobilisation.
|
|
-
|
|
- Raise
awareness about the potential and necessity for
resource mobilisation.
|
|
-
|
|
- Establish
linkages with key partners that pursue this mutual
objective.
|
|
-
|
|
- Support
initiatives that enhance the image and credibility
of the NPO sector.
|
|
-
|
|
- Advance
volunteerism as part of the national development
strategy.
|
|
-
|
|
- Promote discussion, celebration, recognition, and growth of philanthropy
and volunteerism in the East African region.
|
|
-
|
|
- Engage professional organisations in discussions on how their staff and
membership can volunteer their professional
expertise to communities in which they conduct their
work.
