Welcome to Concept Note, an advanced course on "how to write a Concept Note". A Concept Note is a concise summary of a project, a short version of a full project proposal that is submitted to a donor who is likely to fund your project. Based on the quality of your Concept Note, the donor will assess the project’s viability and goals in relation to their own funding priorities. A Concept Note is usually written after the planning and design process of the project, and is usually submitted to a donor as the first step in the grant application process.
