Meet the Funders: Funding and Proposal Writing Workshop

The full-day session hosted by the NLEN brought together NLEN members as well as other non-member environmental organisations for a workshop aimed at professional development and networking. The purpose of the workshop was threefold:

• build the capacity of the participants with respect to proposal writing;
• provide a forum for dialogue between participating organisations and potential funders;
• provide an opportunity for funders to promote their funding programs.
