About IWRM

Your starting point for fundraising success!

The Resource Alliance has a 10 year history of organising the IWRM. It is widely recognised as the leading training for building the fundraising capacity of non-profit organisations in the emerging economies.  Host countries have included India, Thailand, Uganda, Malaysia, South Africa and Kenya.

The IWRM is a 3-4 day conference focused on providing comprehensive training in all aspects of resource mobilisation and sustainable fundraising techniques. Through a vibrant mixture of hands-on ‘how to’ workshops and high-energy plenaries, our aim is to equip participants with a thorough grounding in resource mobilisation theory, as well as a set of practical techniques with which to build their fundraising capacity.

The Resource Alliance is currently running IWRMs in two regions:

• IWRM Asia

• IWRM Africa

About IWRM Asia 2011

We had a sucessfull IWRM Asia 2011 at the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok, despite flooding affecting many parts of Thailand.  Much useful feedback was collected from delegates and speakers, which is being used to ensure that the IWRM Asia 2012 will be even better than last year's event. The Resource Alliance would like to extend our warmest thanks to all those involved in the IWRM Asia 2011, delegates, speakers and volunteers alike. We would not have achieved all this without your particiaption!

In total we had 137 delegates from 22 countries from Asia to Australia, representing international organisation as well as small local NGOs.
