----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINAL CALL FOR APPLICANTS

This is a final call for applicants for the Adilisha distance learn-
ing course, Fundraising and resource mobilisation for non-profit hu-
man rights and advocacy organisations in the SADC region.

Fahamu, in association with the Department for Continuing Education 
at the University of Oxford, will be offering courses specifically 
designed to meet the needs of non-profit human rights and advocacy 
organisations in the SADC region (Angola, Democratic Republic of 
Congo, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, 
Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe). 
Developed together with international and regional experts, seven 
courses will be run in the course of the next 8 months.

Applications are now opened for:
Fundraising and resource mobilization

Fundraising and resource mobilisation may be a high priority on your 
list, but in the kind of context you are operating in, the prospects 
of raising sufficient funds might not be so good. In order to be ef-
fective - in order to bring about equity and justice - you need to be 
able to effectively fundraise and mobilise your resources, and effect 
change. And yet many of you are not able to do this. That's what this 
course is for.

This course involves distance learning from interactive materials on 
CD-ROM with support from a course tutor via e-mail. In addition there 
will be a workshop in the region and assignments and one major pro-
ject.

The course will comprise three phases:

Phase One: 
You will be supplied with interactive learning materials on CD-ROM to 
use at home or at your workplace. You will be supported via e-mail by 
a course tutor. You will be required to complete a series of assign-
ments over a period of approximately eight weeks.

Phase Two: 
This will involve an intensive workshop in southern Africa lasting 
for about 5 days depending on the course you are registered for. The 
workshop is compulsory.

Phase Three: 
This phase will last about eight weeks and will involve you carrying 
out an assignment within your organisation. You will be supported via 
e-mail by a course tutor and submit your work for assessment.

Those successfully completing this exercise will be awarded with a 
Certificate of Completion from the University of Oxford.

This project is supported by the European Union, the British Depart-
ment for International Development, and the Canadian International 
Development Research Centre. Funding is available to cover fees, 
travel and accommodation for up to 15 persons per course from within 
the SADC region. Successful applicants would however, be expected to 
pay a registration fee of US$ 250.
