This unit explores how organizations identify, acquire, and sustain the resources they need to fulfill their goals. Learners examine the strategic processes involved in securing financial, human, material, and technological resources, paying attention to both internal capacities and external opportunities.

The unit introduces key concepts such as stakeholder engagement, proposal development, fundraising strategies, partnership building, budgeting, and accountability mechanisms. It also highlights the ethical considerations that shape responsible resource acquisition and utilization.

By the end of the unit, learners should be able to analyze an organization’s resource needs, design appropriate mobilization strategies, develop basic resource-seeking documents, and evaluate the effectiveness of mobilization efforts. The unit encourages a practical, problem-solving approach—inviting learners to observe how well-managed resources can turn organizational ambitions into workable realities.
