OVERVIEW: Fund Community Climate Change Adaptation Course Details

What is this course?

A 6 week, self-paced training program where you will each continue the development of your climate change project that was started in OL 341. Each one of the assignments will be a concrete step in preparing your project for a donor presentation. By the end of the 6 weeks, you will have developed a full set of donor documents and project management tools—and make an initial, exploratory donor presentation.

Fund Community Climate Change Adaptation: Learn by doing.

You will embed impact into your adaptation project design with a set of powerful management tools: Logframes, budgets, schedules and compelling fact sheets. They will communicate to donors & stakeholders exactly what you are going to accomplish and can be used for effective management of the project once funded.
