The Institute of
Public Opinion and Research (IPOR) conducted a four-day project Proposal
Development In-house short course, with the aim to equip members of staff to
produce winning proposals, to bolster organizational viability and long-term
sustainability.
IPOR Director of
Strategy and Management, Professor Blessings Chinsinga, said the training was
worthwhile for IPOR, as a research firm that specializes in surveys and social science research, advisory and
consulting services.
At the end of the
training Professor Chinsinga said: "Following the completion of the
four-day Proposal Development In-house course, we are confident that it will be
a worthwhile value for money investment for IPOR, both in the short and
long-term".
During the training,
participants were taken through all the processes in the project proposal
development that includes; Introduction; problem statement; background and
literature review; Goals and objectives; Project design and Monitoring and
Evaluation; Project implementation and management; Management plan;
Institutional capacity and experience; Budgeting and budgetary requirements,
among others.
IPOR Director of
Training and Programs, Dr. Michael Chasukwa, said the training was timely as it
built capacity for members of staff, emphasizing that sometimes there is proposal writing
fatigue, which can be broken by going over and above board, amid the current
competing business environment.
At the end of the
course, members of staff received certificates of attendance.
