Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is not just a social issue, it’s a systemic challenge that undermines agricultural value chains.

In rural and isolated areas, GBV threatens women’s safety, limits their economic participation, and weakens food security. When women cannot work safely, entire communities lose resilience, and businesses lose productivity. Climate resilience strategies that overlook gendered risks leave communities exposed and women vulnerable.

Ending GBV is essential for building equitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient agri-food systems; and it’s not only a human rights imperative, but also central to climate adaptation and economic stability.

The good news? Solutions work. Programs like the Women’s Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF) demonstrate that addressing GBV can enhance productivity and strengthen workforce morale and brand reputation. Safe, inclusive workplaces aren’t just good ethics, they’re smart business.

Event Description

There are many strategies organisations can employ to mobilise resources for improved service delivery. Often, organisations grapple with allocation of meagre resources to accomplish their goals. This may lead to reliance on singular funding streams, which are provided over limited time periods. Successful organisations are finding ways to work with markets and help businesses "do well while doing good."

In this training, we will discuss how organisations can influence business practices, build partnerships, and develop earned income ventures; all ways of leveraging market forces to achieve social change on a broader scale.

At the end of this course, you will: 

  • Understand the essential components of an integrated fundraising plan.
  • Have worked on the building blocks of the fundraising plan (SWOT, P/C matrix, Case for Support, Donor Map).
  • Understand different types of funders and their motivations.
  • Have ideas of how to scan and map in your country/region for international fundraising opportunities.
  • Have put together a resource mobilisation plan for your organisation or network.

Your Profile

You are a fundraiser, business development officer, programme/project manager and professional, director or line manager with fundraising responsibilities, or a consultant/adviser.

Timeline of the course

We combine Interactive live webinars with collaborative groupwork assignments, complemented by additional guided self-paced learning materials.

12 October - 20 October 2021
