Grant Writing

At Purpose Rwanda, sustainability is not a section we fill to satisfy funders — it is built into how we work.Our monitoring data shows that economically active recovered individuals maintain an 82% sustained recovery rate versus 60% for those without…

Evidence also matters more than theory. I have found that letters of commitment from implementing partners carry significant weight, especially when they specify post-project responsibilities rather than generic support. For example, a county government stating that it will host the…

From my experience, the most convincing sustainability plans are the ones that clearly show who continues what, with what resources, and under what system once the funding ends. Funders are generally not persuaded by broad statements about “long-term impact” unless…

Nice one Rose. This is akin to our ACCESS project: https://access-centre.org/projekt/. We developed a module and enrolled students as part of their research problem, running parallel with the traditional research projects. Only in this one, we focus on living problems affecting invited SMEs…

I am highly interested in pursuing postgraduate studies to advance my academic and professional career. However, my aspiration to enroll in a postgraduate program has been constrained by financial challenges, as I currently lack the resources required to fund my…

In my proposal on HIV-NCD coomorbidity, i recommended that the management of the two conditions be integrated across the country and implemented together.

The sustainability issue has been a key impediment for me too in many grant propasals. However, I managed to secure a grant by demonstrating that the project benefits (knowledge and buy-in  on conservation) will continue to benefit the community even after the…

However, I have also failed to secure funding even when I indicated sustainability such workshops, publications etc. I am not sure what the problem could be. Your feedback will be highly appreciated 

I did a proposal and secured funding. In this project, I proposed the development of a postgraduate program, which I succeeded did. It\'s currently undergoing the university approval process. Once the Senate approves it, then we will begin to admit…

Many grant proposals struggle to present a convincing sustainability plan. What approaches have you found effective in demonstrating that project outcomes will be maintained beyond the funding period, and what evidence or arguments helped persuade funders that your sustainability strategy was realistic and achievable?

I am grateful for this workshop. It is an eye opener to me.
