We are all feeling concerned about the future shape and size of the sector following the withdrawal of USAID and the reduction of funding by many other countries. Australia is one shining light in maintaining our aid budget, but many organisations have relied on these and other income sources.
The question everyone is asking: where can organisations now secure funding for their lifesaving health programs, fundamental education programs, and vital infrastructure projects, and more?
Join Women in Aid & Development as expert speakers talk us through current sources of funding and their thoughts on innovative strategies and emerging opportunities for securing funding in today’s evolving international aid and development landscape.
Please do send us any questions you would like asked during the panel discussions.
We will also provide an overview of the WiAD Mentoring Program, what to expect, how to apply, and the value it delivers in your career.
Cost: FREE for WIAD Members, $25 for Supporters, $10 for Non-Member Students, interns and unwaged, and $5 ONLINE. Link to be shared after registration.
