The document summarizes the regional fundraising experiences and challenges faced by GWPSA since 2000. Key lessons include moving from many small projects to a more programmatic focus, developing donor relationships, and ensuring alignment with regional frameworks. Recent challenges include decreased resources due to the economic downturn and changes in donor agreements. GWPSA is addressing these by revising its regional strategy, developing a strategic business plan and 5-year work program, and implementing a fundraising strategy to diversify funding sources.
