TO INCREASE THE FUND MANAGEMENT CAPACITY AND ESTABLISH ACTIVITIES GEARED TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF EFFECTIVE AND CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONING OF THE GENTE POSITIVA ASSOCIATION FOR THE YEARS 2001-2004.
The strategy is to, through self-management and financial sustainability processes, be able to develop productive and profitable projects as well as the diversification of financing sources through searches for local and international donors.
The proposed results to obtain this strategic objective are:
Result 3.1
To implement a process of self-management and financial sustainability (3 productive and profitable projects functioning efficiently at the end of 2004.)
The Association will propose a process of self-management and sustainability that allows it to create its own capital. To achieve this, the implementation of productive and profitable projects will be undertaken which will be based on market studies and initiated with seed capital donated or arranged with alternative credit programs. Some ideas that have emerged related to PLWHA include the sale of low-cost medications, holistic workshops for other organizations and the sale of other suitable services.
Result 3.2
The diversification of financing sources (doubling the financial entities that support the work of the Gente Positiva Association.)
To achieve this result, a study to identify agencies and programs specializing in working with PLWHA and issues that interest the Association has been proposed to locate potential collaborators. Visual presentations of the Association’s strategic planning and advances will be prepared along with a written presentation and summarized strategic plan. The materials will be drafted in such a way as to serve as a presentation and management instrument for the Association and which will be distributed to potential collaborating agencies and programs.
