Guide to Proposal Writing for Local Authorities
This guidebook is designed to help local authority personnel write a successful project proposal for submission to a funding agency or similar organization. It sets out the basic steps in project identification and describes each section of a well written proposal. The booklet provides writing tips and samples and examples of proposal components and provides information on how proposals are likely to be evaluated. Local authorities may use the “Directory of Funding and Resource Agencies for LAs in Sri Lanka” to identify places to submit proposals. Trainers may also use the guide to support workshops or “write shops” (facilitated proposal writing sessions) on proposal preparation. The guide is available in English, Sinhala and Tamil from The Asia Foundation and the Sri Lanka Institute of Local Governance (SLILG).
