Yesterday I had a great opportunity to share my knowledge and experience about resource mobilization. 

Did you know resource mobilization is more than just fundraising? 

Session Highlight;

Community based organisations should develop two road maps towards their sustainability at the early stages and that should be; 

• Deliberately establish an Income Generating Activity or Venture (IGA or IGV). 
• Develop a fundraising strategy that will attract a wide range of funding portfolios. 

Apart from funds organisations can mobilize for the following resources; 

1. Human capital: - think of volunteers, individual expert etc. 
2. Social network: - Join formidable networks that will create an avenue for growth and collaboration. 
3. Physical: - think of assets, equipment or materials that you need for your organisation to achieve your mission. Among others... 

So what is resource mobilization? "Resource mobilization refers to all activities involved in securing new and additional resources for your organization. It also involves making better use of, and maximizing, existing resources. Resource mobilization is often referred to as ‘New Business Development’."
