Resource Mobilisation Workshop
The Art of Fundraising: Communicating and Monitoring Your Resource Mobilisation Success
Closing the gap between mobilising resources and accounting for them
Public institutions across Kenya and the region face mounting fiscal pressure — and most that have invested in resource mobilisation now confront a second-generation challenge.
Institutions mobilise resources without systems to monitor whether those resources deliver value, and without the skills to communicate results credibly to donors, oversight bodies, or the public. Mobilising funds is only half the mandate — demonstrating, measuring, and communicating the results is what sustains and grows an institution's funding base.
The Public Sector Resource Mobilisation Workshop (PSRMW) is KAFP's flagship conference for public sector RM practitioners. This 2nd Edition is a standalone conference, fully accessible whether you're attending for the first time or returning to deepen your practice.
Four focus pillars
The workshop is structured around four pillars that move participants from mobilising resources to monitoring, communicating, and institutionalising their results.
Resource Mobilisation & Performance Monitoring Frameworks
- Undertaking resource mobilisation
- Designing monitoring frameworks tailored to public sector RM functions and KPIs
- Linking RM indicators to donor compliance, national priorities, and government audit cycles
Translating RM Data into Strategic Communication
- Converting raw RM data into credible narratives for Boards, National Treasury, and oversight bodies
- Using storytelling and evidence frameworks to build donor confidence and demonstrate impact
Accountability Dashboards & RM Metrics
- Building dashboards to track pipeline health, conversion rates, and partnership value
- Linking dashboard outputs to annual reports, Board presentations, and donor briefings
Institutionalising RM Success for Long-Term Sustainability
- Embedding RM monitoring into institutional strategic plans and annual work plans
- Building communities of practice within and across public institutions for shared RM accountability
