09cd-5495 - Financial management training for finance officers and managers of POs in S-W Asia
This proposal includes only a training on Financial management for POs in S-W Asia (event). Financial management remains a weak point in many RPOs, as we can see from external audit reports and financial reports submitted to Agriterra. We get the request for this type of training from several POs (often informal, during field missions). In order to enhance financial management and transparency of RPOs, a systematic and tailor made training for finance officers and managers of RPOs is needed. MANGO will facilitate the training in close collaboration with Agriterra. Objectives: 1. Strengthen the Financial Management Capacities of the staff of farmers' organisations in Asia 2. Establish good contacts between MANGO representatives in Asia, ACCU and Agriterra and explore options for further coaching of financial management of RPOs in Asia by ACCU and possibly MANGO Expected results: - Finance and Admin staff and the responsible manager (being CEO/president or equivalent) of farmers Organisations in Asia will be trained in Financial Management - POs will prepare an action plan describing how to improve their financial management
