Deadline: 18-Mar-22
The Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) is inviting civil society organizations (CSOs) in Kenya i.e NGOs, Self-help Groups, FBOs and CBOs to join the Change the Game Academy training in Mobilising Support Training.
KCDF in partnership with Wilde Ganzen launched an ambitious programme dubbed ‘Change the Game’ in 2015. ‘Change the Game’ aims to push forward the conversation about ways of ‘doing and deciding’ how development is practiced through enhancing the capacity of communities to shape their own future and prioritize development needs.
The Change the Game Academy seeks to support organizations to strengthen their local fundraising capacity for increased sustainability, ownership, and legitimacy. The Academy also supports organizations to hold their governments accountable through claim-making.
Objectives
The following are the key objectives
- Build the capacities of grassroots organizations to identify and prioritize development challenges for policy pursuit at county level.
- Strengthen the capacities of grassroots organizations to make strategic choices on engaging in claim making.
- Enable grassroots organizations to mobilize support among duty bearers for quality service delivery.
- Strengthen systems of grassroots organizations to integrate claim making as an intervention in their development work.
Mobilizing Support Training Pathway
The Training Pathway: The project focuses on a training trajectory of 12 days split in four modules that will be offered in a period of six months. The modules are split as follows:
- Module One: Leader’s Meeting (Two Day Training Held Face to Face) – This is an introductory course for the leadership of the participating organizations. Two leaders from a participating organization take this module.
- Module Two: Starters Course (Five Day Training Held Face to Face) – After module 1, each organization nominates two participants or champions. This will be the persons directly responsible for lobby and policy influencing activities for the participating organizations.
- Module Three: Skills Course (Three Days of Training Held Face to Fcae) – This module builds up on the gains made under module 2 (starters Course) and the Back Home Project started as part of module 3. This module focuses on enhancing skills so that actions identified and tried out in Module 2 and 3 can be implemented by the organization.
- Module Four: Graduate Course (Two Days of Training Held Face to Face) – This is the last module aimed at providing a platform to evaluate the actions undertaken throughout the training trajectory. It is anticipated that by this point, the contribution to the new skills are embedded in the organization.
