Request for support with development of a Fund Development Strategy

Background

N’weti is a Mozambican NGO established in 2008, with expertise in health promotion and evidence-based social and behavior change (SBC), community engagement, community-based prevention and health service provision, referral and counter-referral systems, monitoring of health services, advocacy and policy influence, health systems strengthening, and local capacity building.

The organization has a diverse funding base from donors and currently receives funding from USAID/PEPFAR, EU, UNICEF, Ministry of Health, Aidsfonds, Amplify Change, Village Reach, GIZ, and OSISA. N’weti has recently developed its Strategic Plan (2021-2025), which is fully aligned with national health policies and strategies to attain the most critical national health outcomes.

Objectives, tasks and scope of the assignment

Nweti aims to position itself for fund development, expand the capacity of the organization to examine market opportunities, diversify its funding resource base, expand on available funding, and position itself in an everchanging environment with the objective of securing long term financial sustainability. N’weti aims to engage a consultant/team of consultants to develop a Fund Development Strategy. The organization depends on funding from external donors. N’weti intends to diversify its funding base, other than development aid financing. The Fund Development Strategy will therefore focus on opportunities for N’weti to utilize and invest its existing financial resources develop additional resources. This therefore may include opportunities such as potential investment opportunities, business cases, emerging initiatives, shares, social projects, etc. The Fund Development Strategy, alongside the Resource Mobilization Strategy (to be developed internally) will inform N’weti on opportunities to develop its resources further. The Fund Development Strategy therefore will offer a framework for future fund development activities and also aid the organization in diversifying its funding base, building medium to long-term sustainability. The main objectives are to:

1. Undertake a mapping and analysis of potential fund development opportunities that can generate financial returns, identifying and proposing the best financing opportunities and key recommendations, and draft a comprehensive report.
