Growing Development Support

To date Live & Learn has been funded mainly from project funds. This reflects our focus on delivery and has ensured that we are a lean and efficient organization, historically operating on three percent of our budget for administration. As Live & Learn continues to grow, we realize that administration costs will rise. To meet this new challenge, we will actively seek program funding to allow the Melbourne-based office to provide high-quality support to each country office, capacity building to all staff, standardize Monitoring and Evaluation among all offices, and actively seek international long-term donor funding. Live & Learn is well placed to explore these possibilities.

Goal: Strengthening efficiency, quality and transparency among country organizations.

Goal: Strengthening networks, dialogue and professional development for all Live & Learn staff.

Goal: Diversifying donor support through endowments and general operating support, in addition to specific project funding.
