‘’The classes are very interactive. Not for any moment, I have felt like I was afraid to approach my trainer or facilitator whenever I had difficulties. I felt like my friend was standing in front of me and teaching me a new method. Anything that I needed as a foreign student at MS TCDC was there”

‘‘It has been good for me as a project manager, to learn different ways of resource mobilization and how I can improve my skills in proposal writing. This is a very important course that I can recommend for every project or program manager as it is a very important skill that managers need to know how to mobilize resources."

“There is a big impact that I have seen not only from my perspective but also the perspective of my fellow participants. A lot of them have moved forward to develop resource mobilization strategies, and some of them are using those skills to engage with relevant donors to access funding. I know quite a few that have accessed funding as a result of that training - for instances our grantees in Rwanda, Zambia and Malawi who have been able to use those skills to access funds from GIZ.’’

Climate change reporting is important because it directly relates to human life. Therefore, we report it to make sure that the community and government take adaptive measures against climate change.
