Programme led-funding: What is it? - Programme led funding is the core of the planning process, as it links together the work you plan to do with the resources you have available - To complete it you need to be able to describe your programme , assess the funds you need, the staff you need and the skills these must have-and then make an assessment of what is missing and how you will plug those gaps.
Funding Planning: Why is it need? -It ensures we are programme led, not donor led -It recognises the entire funding mix( Child sponsorship, national fund, high value, official etc) -It outlines our funding needs or gaps from countries and programme and provides you with a strategy to fill them -It is integral to planning, strategy development and ability to fund your CSP
Donor Contract Management System - A database that host financial management, drafting and submission of proposals, reports, procurement and assets management, visibility, donor communications and other routine aspects of contract management - The system will enhance documentation and institutional memory, reduce high risk contracts, prudent spending, add value to AA s work
