Over the last decade, civil society has grown fast and increasing very fast too is the enormous potential of support possible. But many NGOs lack skills and professional training in how to garner this support.

Resources can be accessed through a strategy, a simple plan and trained staff.  Therein lies the importance of this workshop. SAFRG believes that only systematic planning and application can bring in adequate funds, for all-round development and ultimately success of NGOs.
