  • Conducting research into potential donors and donor organisations and creating a database of opportunities for funding
  • Assisting with writing funding proposals and reports to be sent to funders
  • Assisting with day-to-day management of the sponsorship program, including contacting sponsors, processing payments, and uploading information into database and websites

  • Research funding and sponsorship opportunities locally and internationally, and how to write funding/grant proposals and reports to demonstrate use of funding to international donors
  • Manage a school sponsorship program, liaising with donors, children and educational institutions, and managing finances
  • Develop strategies to monitor and evaluate the impact of activities implemented as a result of donor grants or sponsorship
  • Promote, network and market a non-for profit organisation
  • Work with the local community to ensure development activities are meeting the needs of local people and are sustainable

You will be asked to attend weekly review meetings, and will have the support of a mentor. At the end of your placement you will share your experiences with the local team in the form of a presentation so bring your laptop. What a fantastic opportunity to develop your CV/Resume!


What skills do I need to be an International Development Intern in Swaziland?

Interns should be studying international relations, development or management or be considering a move into the international development sector. You will be working at a more strategic level helping to develop the capacity of the organisation and helping with fundraising efforts. Be prepared to use your creative and writing skills.
