IDEA training and support on Irish Aid DE grants
Irish Aid have launched the 2021 Development Education Grants.
As in previous years, IDEA will provide support for members and spaces for members to support one another in applying for these grants. This year we are also opening our training to any other actors who are not yet members of IDEA and this training is free of charge to all.
- Our first training event is an Annual Grants Clinic , facilitated by IDEA staff and focusing on the application form itself. This will also include an introduction to Results Frameworks by Susan Gallwey, particularly relevant for those who are new to the process. This runs on Tuesday, 3 November from 11am – 1pm, via Zoom.
- Our second training is our annual workshop on Results Frameworks for Development Education , led by Susan Gallwey. This is focused more on supporting those who are familiar with Results Frameworks and have begun work on the RF for their applicatin. We encourage everyone to bring along their previous year's RF (where available) and any work done on this year's version. This runs on Tuesday, 10 November from 2pm – 4pm, via Zoom.
- Furthermore, we are available for specific queries via phone and email on the Annual Grants process,
