This three-part series, part of the AIR P3 Africa Program, is facilitated by AIR experts Dr. David Seidenfeld, Vice President, International Development, and Senior Economists Dr. Adria Molotsky and Dr. Marlous de Milliano. The sessions are designed to strengthen researchers’ skills in developing competitive proposals for non-academic funding.

Focusing on requests for proposals (RFPs) from foundations, international organizations, and national agencies, the sessions provide practical guidance on planning, writing, and successfully submitting strong proposals.

The first session focused on reviewing RFPs and win themes. The second session will center on components of the proposal. The final session will focus on budget, admin, reviews, and writing tips.
