Statement of Need

Real quote heard from a senior manager at a leading funding agency

“I don’t need advocates…”

Statement of Need

Why?

S/He has seen too many people who say: “My programme is more important than other

programmes, I need more people and more money”

S/He also has to handle other programmes in a large portfolio and does not want to think in a unilateral way

Statement of Need

Imagine you are a big donor. What do you think of this plan?

We want to continue the programme for another five years with your support

Statement of Need

A vision backed up by a solid plan and a demonstrated accountability is your best advocate

1. Five years ago we were all the way back there at point A and you funded us

2. In five years, we have delivered X, Y and Z) and that took us to point B today

3. In five years we would like to be in point C, and for this, our strategic plan tells us we need …
