MORE ABOUT THIS COURSE
According to a book titled, Unfair Advantage, we all have an unfair advantage while starting an organization or any other company. The difference lies in using what edge you have as a head-start to take your organization to the desired level.

This course begins with an introduction to help you understand how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) started in the world, and you will learn about the various classifications of NGOs. It takes you through the team development process, and you will become aware of factors you should consider when selecting your team. 
You will discover the factors that will help you tap into that advantage and build a recognized organization nationally, internationally, or within your community. Building from personal experience, Deraso Dokhole highlights the process of applying for grants; because this serves as the backbone of any NGO. Finally, you will realize possible problems you are likely to encounter, and how to overcome them or prevent them.

Happy Learning.
