SB 42 Building Strategic Alliances to Help Sustain
Programme and Organisational Impact
Venue: Room F
Time: 11.30-14.00
Most organisations face financial constraints. Although donor funding may be
available to start a programme what happens when a project changes, or the
funding decreases or ends? A rising demand for funding for both prevention and
care programmes has emphasised the need to assess existing patterns of resource
use and to explore alternative ways of sustaining programmes. One way
organisations can work towards sustaining effective programmes is by building
alliances, or actively collaborating with other organisations, not only NGOS and
donors but the private sector, church, local and national government.This
workshop will focus on helping participants plan a strategy to develop working
relationships/alliances.
