Title: "Gaza Review, Training Provision"

Deadline: June 29th, 2023; however, we may end the call earlier as selections will be made in the order of expressed interests

Who we are: Japan Platform

Background:

In 2021, the Japan Platform Standing Committee decided to reorganize the allocation of its funding, which has been stretched thin across various parts of the world due to the increasing number and severity of crises. In light of the deepening humanitarian crisis in the region and the significant poverty exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, discussions are ongoing to carefully assess the limited financial budget and the number of crises that JPF can support in the coming year. As part of these discussions, it has been proposed to cease JPF funding to the region starting from the fiscal year 2024 (April 2024). Based on ongoing discussions, the year 2022 has been identified as the phase-out year for assistance targeted for the region. Member NGOs have been encouraged to plan and accelerate their activities to build internal capacity and resilience of the community and beneficiaries within the scope of JPF activities. However, this has proven challenging alongside delivering planned activities within the set timeframe. As part of its regular monitoring and evaluation activities, JPF has decided to include activities to complement these efforts and provide opportunities for capacity building with long-standing local partners and/or local staff from Campaign for Children from Palestine, Peace Wind, PARCiC, and Save the Children Japan.

During the first round of discussions at the Tokyo level to identify areas of interest, three indicators were presented from JPF's strategic framework (working document) on localization. These indicators include: improved understanding of humanitarian standards, opportunities for knowledge sharing and exchange among actors, and the ability of local partners to apply for and acquire funding independently. Some member NGOs expressed interest in resource mobilization and fundraising, which may involve developing institutional strategies, diversifying marketing tools, improving proposal writing quality, and developing key messages and communication tools for donors.

Objective:

The resource mobilization landscape is rapidly changing, and strategies and plans that worked a few years ago may no longer be applicable. This training workshop is designed to respond to the resource mobilization strategies and needs of organizations and equip staff with the necessary tools, skills, and approaches to achieve measurable impact. It is important for organizations to recognize that resource mobilization is a part of marketing their partner institutions. Designing and implementing a resource mobilization strategy requires competence and skills.

Specific Objectives:

Equip staff responsible for resource mobilization/fundraising with tools, skills, and approaches to create conditions for successful resource mobilization, expand access to diverse sources of donor resources, and improve long-term organizational resource sustainability.

Build and enhance the confidence and skills of those responsible for resource mobilization/fundraising to design and implement results-oriented and measurable resource mobilization strategies for funding programs.

Identify practical strategies for planning and running impactful resource mobilization and fundraising campaigns.

Enhance the capacity of staff to provide more effective leadership in the resource mobilization function.

Demonstrate competencies to evaluate and audit resource mobilization outcomes.

Expected Outputs:

By the end of the training, participants should have achieved the following:

Renewed group mapping of resource mobilization opportunities for Gaza, reflecting an understanding of trends and the nature of funding environments.

Each organization-specific resource mobilization strategy.

Each organization will have developed a pitch, key messages, and communication tools for donors.

Each organization will have an action plan for implementing the resource mobilization strategy developed during the workshop.

Each organization will have a donor tracking tool and partner analysis tool.

Each organization will have a model/product validation tool.
