Eight Oxfam and ActionAid Partners in Gaza and the West Bank Complete Proposal Writing Training and Coaching Program
September 30, 2026<
Between June and August 2026, with support from Oxfam, eight Oxfam and ActionAid partner institutions in Gaza and the West Bank completed a capacity-building program in fundraising and proposal writing delivered by the GRANTS Team. The program included 10 days of face-to-face training. Four West Bank institutions trained for five days in Nablus, and four Gaza institutions trained for five days in Gaza, with 24 participants in total.
The training covered fundraising readiness, problem analysis, results chains and logframes, MEAL and risk plans, budgeting, and the key components of a proposal. Participants also received a full Proposal Writing Guide, templates, and practical exercises.
Each institution then received individual coaching. Electricity and internet outages in Gaza meant the coaching there had to move from online sessions to in-person visits. All eight institutions finished with one funding proposal each. Each institution also activated a permanent account on grantsmena.com to build and manage its donor database and find relevant funding opportunities.
