This Proposal and Report Writing Manual is developed with information from a two-day skills-building workshop in Nairobi, Kenya in March 2011 organized by AWDF, for small to medium size grantees in Kenya on proposal writing, reporting and documentation. The production of this manual is the collective effort of the 22 grantees who participated in the workshop, the Facilitator Jane Kirago, Rapporteur Kathambi Kinoti, and AWDF itself. We wish to thank you all for the rich contributions you made to this manual, which now goes to serve the work of the many grantees who were not at the workshop. We hope that this manual will serve as a useful practical tool for the strengthening of the work of women’s right organisations in Africa.
