Resource Mobilization is a crucial pillar of the Gender and Climate Change Tanzania Coalition (GCCTC). This pillar focuses on securing financial and non-financial resources to support the coalition’s activities and initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality and addressing climate change challenges. Activities and objectives associated with the Resource Mobilization pillar are:
- Fundraising and Grant Applications: The GCCTC actively engages in fundraising efforts to secure financial resources from diverse sources. This involves identifying potential donors, developing fundraising strategies, and submitting grant applications to national and international funding organizations. The coalition seeks grants, donations, and sponsorships to support its research, advocacy, capacity building, and community engagement activities. By successfully mobilizing funds, the GCCTC can sustain its operations and expand its impact in addressing gender and climate change issues.
- Partnerships with Donors and Institutions: The coalition builds partnerships with donors, development agencies, and financial institutions to leverage resources and support. This includes engaging in dialogues with potential donors, establishing collaborations with funding organizations, and exploring innovative financing mechanisms. By nurturing partnerships, the GCCTC can access funding opportunities, receive technical assistance, and benefit from the expertise and networks of these institutions. These partnerships also contribute to the long-term sustainability of the coalition’s initiatives.
- In-kind Contributions and Resource Sharing: Resource mobilization is not limited to financial support alone. The GCCTC also seeks non-financial resources through in-kind contributions and resource sharing. This may involve receiving pro bono services, equipment, expertise, or other tangible resources from partners and stakeholders. By tapping into these non-financial resources, the coalition can optimize its operations and deliver impactful programs and initiatives without solely relying on financial inputs.
- Advocacy for Resource Allocation: Another aspect of resource mobilization is advocating for the allocation of resources by relevant stakeholders, including government bodies and development agencies. The GCCTC actively engages in advocacy efforts to highlight the importance of gender-responsive climate financing and secure budgetary allocations for programs and policies addressing the gender-climate nexus. By advocating for resource allocation, the coalition aims to ensure that adequate funding is directed towards gender equality and climate action initiatives in Tanzania.
