Consultant Dream Fund
The Dutch National Postcode Lottery is the third largest private donor in the world. War Child is developing a Dream Fund proposal for an innovative education project, starting in The Sudan and to be rolled out in at least two more countries. The project uses ICT and serious gaming to reach out-of-school children. A small pilot of this project has already been carried out successfully. War Child is recruiting a consultant to manage the proposal development process. The final product will be a high quality and attractive, creative full proposal, possibly not limited to a written document. The consultant will drive the process to bring the application to full completion and ensure both high quality and a timely submission of the final product.
