USAID has recently launched the Partner Capacity Development (PCD) Program to build institutional capacity of Vietnamese agencies, organizations and individuals in a wide range of issues that USAID is working on, including economic growth and inclusion, private sector partnerships and innovation, HIV/AIDS, climate change and disaster risk reduction, disability and vulnerable populations, avian and pandemic influenza, education, and environmental remediation. The implementer of this program is the Institute of International Education (IIE), a United States non-government organization with more than 20 years of extensive experience working in Vietnam in education, scholarship and capacity building.
PCD is going to organize a training and coaching on “Proposal writing and fundraising skills” to key members of local organizations working with PWDs. The training aims at building the capacity and strengthen the proposal writing and fundraising skills for staff of organizations working for PWDs, including VNGOs, associations, agencies, in order to strengthen organisational capacity, build staff practical skill and knowledge with the result of increased resource mobilisation from domestic and international donors.
