RESOURCES MOBILIZATION

Resource Mobilization is a continuous process for Theological Education by Extension in Zambia. The institution believes in harnessing and nurturing the existing partners and donors while at the same time seeking new grants opportunities. The resource mobilization strategies for TEEZ are categorized into three sections namely:

1. Local incomes
Under this component, the staff in the various sections and departments set targets of what resources need to be brought into the common pool. This strategy is spearheaded by the Training & Capacity Development Manager. Additionally, other personnel such as the Business Lodge Manager are incorporated so that TEEZ tap into the resources raised from Providence TEEZ Lodge . This is done to enhance our local sustainability strategy.

2. Existing Partnership
TEEZ has had long standing partnerships with organizations and churches globally. These continue to provide resources to support the ministry of TEEZ. These partnership have continued to hold TEEZ in high esteem because of the innovations and creativity that the institution has put in place which has proven effective in the current trends of doing TEE.

3. New Proposal Development Initiatives
One of the key factors that has enabled TEEZ to record a significant increase in its funding threshold and annual budget is the third component. This is a new component that has transformed the way of doing TEE. Through this process and the creation of packed program brands, we continue to attract funding from old and new partners.

 

Team Work
Section 2 (Existing Partnerships) and 3 (New Proposal Development Initiatives) are spearheaded by the Chief Executive and Executive Director of TEEZ. Each year as a team, we work towards meeting our set targets and this is intertwined to staff annual performance appraisals as all TEEZ staff now work on performance based contracts.
