Beginner’s Manual: Project Proposal Writing 101
The Manual before you represents a joint effort of the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO), local branch in Serbia, and the OSCE Mission to Serbia toward offering a practical resource to civil society organisations and secondary schools interested in developing and implementing quality youth mobility projects.
It is conceptualized to support advancing of project writing skills. It contains three thematic parts focused on:
➜ Unwrapping grant making logic and understanding processes behind grant life cycle
➜ Highlighting the importance of participation and diversity, and their operationalization in quality youth mobility projects
➜ Guiding through major project elements and technical aspects of writing a successful application
This Manual is based not only on the rich experience of its authors, through their challenges and successes, but it also draws on lessons from a number of trainings for projects preparation organized by RYCO and OSCE field operations in the Western Balkans, internal working materials and recommendations, as well as direct experience of RYCO staff in conducting grant schemes and challenges that beneficiaries were facing. The publication is available in English language.
