Based on ELD's
successful
training programme,
and over
10 years' experience of
delivering training to development
professionals and coaching proposal writers.

Written by Neil Kendrick,
author of
'The Reporting Skills and Professional Writing
Handbook'.

The author has successfully
developed proposals for major donors such as
DFID, FAO and SDC, and worked with
hundreds of small and large NGOs, INGOs,
Government, Bilateral and
Multilateral organisations.

Project Proposal Writing is a clear, simple toolkit for people working in International Development, which takes the best of ELD's wide experience and puts the skills of developing winning proposals into the hands of development workers worldwide. This toolkit enables you to become a 'problem solver' who can:

Imagine having a process that helps you easily design your project and plan and draft the results clearly and with impact. The end result will be better too - our clients - from grassroots NGOs through big INGOs like CARE, Oxfam and Save the Children, to Government and International Organisations such as UNICEF, seem to think so. Over the past 10 years, hundreds of such organisations have sent thousands of participants to us in Laos, Thailand, Nepal and Pakistan to attend (expensive and intensive) training courses that benefit just a few.

These same organisations are already using our first toolkit on Reporting Skills and Professional Writing - enhancing their staff's writing skills while saving 100s of working hours and 1000s of pounds in the process. Now we are able to share the same affordable and effective methods for Project Proposal Writing.There's no longer any need to take time away from the office and fly to some distant country to squeeze your learning into a 5-day 'workshop'.

Human Resource Managers no longer have to wonder how they can balance this years' training budget and who will benefit and who will lose out. ALL THE BEST OF ELD's EXPERIENCE is now available in an easy-to-follow, stress-free self study programme for just a fraction of the cost of face-to-face training that can fit alongside any development worker's busy schedule.

For as little as £20 you can learn all the skills taught in our Proposal Writing training - easily saving £100s on training fees and travel - all in your own time without interrupting your work.

Unlike a face-to-face training with ELD, you DON'T NEED to budget: over three hundred pounds as training fee PLUS travel to an ELD training centre in Thailand, Nepal or Turkey PLUS visa costs PLUS accommodation PLUS living expenses PLUS ONE WEEK OF YOUR VALUABLE TIME. That's easily more than a thousand pounds in real cost, if you can actually find a training course. (Very few organisations offer such a specific proposal writing training, and some charge up to £1500 per person for training fees alone.)

And, if you are a Human Resources Manager, imagine training ALL your staff for less than £20 each! There's no longer any need for expensive in-house consultants. With the Trainer Edition, you get a complete training pack - slides, handouts, trainer guide - 'the works' - and reinforce the learning through structured sessions. The Training Pack is neatly divided into 30 hours over 10 x 3-hour sessions, so you can reduce the intensiveness and increase the effectiveness of the programme. All this for less than the real cost of sending just ONE participant on a training course.

We've been conducting and improving this training for years, for all levels of staff and for a wide range of development partners - a real A-Z of international development organisations. We guarantee that developing winning proposals does NOT require you to:
