Strategic planning should be a means not only to produce a strategy, but also to engage stakeholders, develop leadership, and generate new energy, commitment and consensus around mission. Its primary product is not a written plan, but strategic thinking within the organization through a process of planning followed by a process of implementation. A well-conceived and managed planning process can be the most effective form of organizational development.

Writing a proposal can be a daunting task for NGOs especially when they have to provide enormous information about their proposed project, their organization and the budget in a proper framework. Now, different donor agencies can have different proposal formats but the basic framework of any proposal remains the same. Here, we discuss a simple step-by-step guide on how to write proposals as per the basic framework requested by donor agencies around the world.

Tips for starting a business :
1. The “Does it matter?”-Test
Trust your emotions.
Know that a problem can suddenly become an opportunity to start from scratch without a legacy to carry on. A project has to meet specific needs or create something compelling, like a feature that sparks an emotion that you want to see.
2. Make a little, Try a Little and Sell a Little
Avoid getting too much money too soon.
3. Selling Your project & Yourself
4. Community organizing
Identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause
5. Executing your project
Think of execution as a series of rapid prototypes. Great projects get instant feedback and do instant adjustment cycles. The more iterations you can rapidly go through, the faster you can execute your project.
Starting your own business with “Lean start-up” :
Lean startup is a methodology for developing businesses and products, which aims to shorten product development cycles and rapidly discover if a proposed business model is viable, because the primary objective is to have a safe cash flow which then can be invested in risky developments.
Central to the lean startup methodology is the assumption that when startup companies invest their time into iteratively building products or services to meet the needs of early customers, the company can reduce market risks like creating a complete product that doesn’t appeal to the customers or like creating a lot of features that are not used or required by the customers. So the advantage is that there is no need for large amounts of initial project funding and expensive product launches and failures. This is done with two techniques :
A minimum viable product “MVP” (similar to a pilot experiment) is the version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort
A split or A/B test is an experiment in which different versions of a product are offered to customers at the same time. The goal of a split test is to observe differences in behavior between the two groups and to measure the impact of each version on an actionable metric.
Customer feedback during the development of products or services is integral to the lean startup process, and ensures that the company does not invest time designing features or services that consumers do not want. Customer feedback is measured through two processes, using key performance indicators and a continuous deployment process.

Non-Profit Financial Planning for Uncertain Times.pptx.pdfMzN International
In uncertain times, financial scenario planning is a game-changer. In this webinar, we share how we use financial scenario planning to help our NGO partners navigate disruptive times. We will explore how financial forecasting, when done well, can be a deciding factor in impact generation.
Learn about the most common questions that every proposal should answer to be successful. Our funding team uses these questions to ensure that every proposal we prepare with our NGO partners maximizes its chances for shortlisting and, ultimately, a funding award.
For our NGOs and International Organizations to not only survive but thrive, we need to change the way we are funded and improve the way we work. We need to manage our organizations better, be more agile, and need to diversify funding to make them more robust.
In this webinar, we reflect on 10 years of transforming non-profits into agile and better-funded changemakers. We identify five essential attributes that have made some MzN partners successful and thrive through times of crisis. We look ahead to see what leaders can do now to create organizations that deliver profound impact and advance in a disrupted world.
The budget is the centerpiece of a successful proposal. Over half of the proposal failures for USAID, EU and other major institutional donors are due to insufficient or incoherent budgets. We take an in-depth look at common mistakes, how to avoid them and what donors expect to see in a budget.
The Future NGO is Agile, digital and entrepreneurial.pptx.pdfMzN International
We reflect on 10 years of building better NGOs and International Organisations. What are the factors that successful organizations have in common? What does the non-profit of the future look like?
We have assisted non-profits with mergers and acquisitions, alliance structures, and joint ventures for over 10 years. We reflect on which mergers worked, what they cost, and why merging may not always be the answer.
Get an update on this quarter’s new funding streams. Our team will share donor trends, upcoming new funding streams, and programs from USAID, the EU, GIZ, Nordic donors, and the United Nations.
For NGOs and international organisations to thrive, we need to change the way we are funded and improve the way we work. We need to manage our organizations better, be more agile, and need to diversify funding to make them more robust.
In this webinar, we will:
- Reflect on 10 years of transforming non-profits into agile and better-funded changemakers
- Identify five essential attributes that have made some MzN partners successful and thrive through the COVID-19 crisis
- Look ahead to see what leaders can do now to create organizations that deliver profound impact and advance in a disrupted world
The session is relevant for CEOs and non-profit leaders in organisational development, strategy, and change who want to build the NGO of the future.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

10 Practical Steps in Building a Stable Income Stream
6. The Donor Landscape
With kind permission of
1. The Donor Landscape is at best changeable and at
worst disrupted.
2. Over-reliance on traditional institutional donors is
no longer viable.
3. Traditional donors change policies rapidly and
many are reducing grants.
4. New countries are entering the aid space,
providing grants and also changing influences.
5. New foundations, private philanthropists and
corporate trusts are playing an increasingly
important role.
6. Increased competition from social enterprises,
other NGOs and corporates.
7. Why Map Donors?
For NGOs - Time is Money! - Donor mapping works to align your vision and mission with
opportunities and funding bodies that match your organisation's goals. A donor map aggregates
donor information from across the industry and gives a targeted understanding of:
1. Which opportunities are suitable to be investigated further for detailed profiling and research
2. Which donors are high, medium or low priority as per parameters set by you
3. Prioritisation of opportunities, which donors or calls for proposal need immediate attention
4. Your organisational strategic plan - What your short-term and long-term prospects should be
and how to best achieve them.
A good donor map is the difference between constantly trying to fund your NGO and strategic
sustainable funding for your NGO
8. 1. Build a Template - A donor map needs to be a live accessible and interactive
document (ideally cloud-based or on a platform).
2. Understand your Parameters - Donors have a range of criteria and eligibility
standards. Your organisation has specific capabilities and a mission to fulfil.
Make sure that both of those aspects are accounted for within your donor
map. Time wasted on ineligible projects is de-motivational and costly.
3. Research the Donors - This is an exercise of strategic importance, the devil is
often in the detail. Time spent conducting proper research builds effective
prospect lists as well as avoids disappointment.
4. Build a Prospect Table - This is where you summarise and prioritise the
opportunities identified by your research.
How to Donor Map?
Donor
Mapping
is a
Simple
and
Logical
Process
Once you have defined your funding strategy - You should follow these simple steps:
9. Build a Template and Set Parameters
1. It is important to understand who and what you are mapping! Your funding strategy
should determine your organisational ambitions - The donor map should help identify
which donor can help you fulfil those ambitions.
2. Use a simple but accessible tool to build your template - We have found that simple, and
shared documentation is what our most effective clients use.
3. Set the parameters clearly - A coherent approach to donors based on their funding
envelope, experience and capability requirements, as well as their requirements for
certain local registrations is key.
4. Make sure that your mission drives the donor map, funding for fundings sake does not
make a strong NGO.
10. 1. What is your short-term, medium-term and
long-term funding target?
2. What is the target split? (unrestricted/restricted)
3. Which projects/programmes/thematic areas do
you need funding for?
4. Which areas are new/innovative/might attract
funding?
5. What are the no-go areas of your funding
policies?
6. What type of donors are you looking for?
7. Which geographical areas do you seek funding
for?
A few questions to consider when building a template
11. There are 3 main tools for donor research:
1. To research your existing donor agencies, partners and foundations.
2. To research your competitors and peers sources of funds.
3. To explore the NGO-donor organization common portals and
databases. Examples:
• www.devex.com
• www.FundsForNGOs.com
• www.triple-funds.com
• www.unpartnerportal.com
• www.reliefweb.com (more for tenders)
A combination of those three tools is often the best approach.
Donor Research
12. Donor Prospect Table
● The prospect table is a living document - it needs revisiting regularly and actively managing. The table needs
to be accessible - Digital is Best!
● Prioritisation should be indicated in terms of active calls for proposals as well as overall potential long-term
value.
● Prospects should be allocated to team members responsible for running that relationship.
● The prospect table is as much about long-term strategic networking as it is about the immediate opportunity.
● A stakeholder network mapping exercise is often a good starting point for prospecting. During this exercise,
all employees, board members, key individuals and, at times, alumni, past international interns and even
beneficiaries related to your organisation complete a questionnaire focusing on potential networks for funding
See examples next slides

15. Lessons learnt from our donor mapping experience
1. Invest time and human resources - at least once a week
2. Keep it simple and accessible
3. Use a practical tool that is intuitive and easy to use
4. Share it with the larger team but only give a few people
admin access
5. Have a bookmark folder with the regular opportunity
websites/databases to consult
6. Create google alerts for the most relevant donors/calls
7. Develop a process across the team to keep the prospect
sheet up to date
8. Invest in one or two subscriptions to the most relevant
donor databases (but before you do - use their free trials
for a while)
16. Stay in touch!
