Contract and Grant Management

A group training session showcasing Xseed Lead's Contract and Grant Management development package in action.

Do you find managing a contract or grant challenging?

Are your staff confused about what is expected?

Are you managing them for a third party and juggling expectations?

Does your team have experience in contract and grant management, but would like a structured approach to help ensure your skills have all the fundamentals covered?

Do you wish you had someone experienced to put your questions to (confidentially) and be mentored on approaches that work?

If you said yes to any of the above, then we can help.

        What People Are Saying

        I would like to thank both Deb and Jonah for a very informative session we had and the one on one sessions that really helped me grow my confidence in managing my component grants without the support of the Grants and Finance team. I appreciate the tools provided which I am currently using in tracking and managing these grants.

        -Albertine A.

        I like how these sessions are geared towards the individual and their specific needs. In saying that, I got to spend adequate time to learn about the shared experiences, learnings, and reflections of grants topics that are of specific interest to me. It was also useful to derive learning from another Papua New Guinean professional in the space and to hear of some common and unique challenges and the way the responded to those challenges. I believe one hour is sufficient time.

        -Taugau T.

        Deb is an amazing couch. Learnt so much from her coaching which has greatly helped me in my work. I am so grateful for the valuable tips and tricks shared along with her sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience. I am confident that what I have gained through her couching will go a long way. Highly recommend Deb to anyone who manages grants/programs in the development space.

        -Georgina T.

        A great opportunity to learn and understand more about contract management and administration. Gain practical advise and learn from Deb experiences on the fundamentals of the trade and how to improve and better my work.
