Proposals within the development and humanitarian sectors play a crucial role as documents defining both what you, as a consultant, will deliver to the client or project, but also why your experience and skills make you the right consultant for the job. Specifically, when it comes to commercial proposals – encompassing areas such as monitoring and evaluation, assessments, and the provision of training – the art of crafting a compelling proposal is paramount for organizations seeking to win competitive and attractive projects. It offers a structured approach to overcoming challenges while effectively conveying the potential impact and value of the proposed initiatives to potential clients and collaborators in the market.
