Leadership, Resource Mobilization, and Budget Management Facilitator Guide

A Coaching Tool for Health Advocacy Committees in Liberia

Working with the health advocacy committees (HACs) in Liberia, we have identified several major capacity gaps in the following areas: leadership, resource acquisition and management, and budgeting. Breakthrough ACTION Liberia designed this coaching booklet using the Goal, Reality, Options, and Will (GLOW) model, a simple method of goal setting and problem-solving to help HACs transition to independent, health-focused, civil society organizations (CSOs). This guidance also helps ensure ownership and sustainability.

The coaching booklet aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of HAC members using practical, hands-on instructions for raising and managing resources, leading effectively, and managing budgets. It explains how to talk about the programs, address community needs, and solicit donations from supporters, as well as how to compete with other CSOs for funding opportunities. This practical guide thus supports the following objectives: learning effective leadership skills, transitioning to an independent CSO, mobilizing resources, and developing proposals.
