Objectives of the seminar

This national management seminar came to respond to an urgent need to enable MATE board and regional branches to manage themselves more efficiently. Thus the colloquium aimed to

1.      enable national board members and regional branches to build their management and leadership capacities;

2.      empower the national board and regional boards to be able to give high quality service to local ELT community

3.      establish more solid ways of coordination and collaboration among regional branches on the one hand and between them and the national board on the other;

4.      come up with agreed on bylaws that would ease this coordination and collaboration; and

5.      come up with solid programmes for regional branches.

ABSTRACTS

 

Presentations

 

Ayoub Ait Ali: NGO Team building: Working out the puzzle

This presentation is structured around the following key entries in the context of an NGO:

- Perception of the value of teamworking;

- Identification of the stages in the life of teams;

- Setting goals for teams;

- Recognizing and choosing individuals for the key roles in a team.

The take-home message in the presentation is how to get to the right mix of people, skills, attitudes and personalities. The psychological and social dimensions are brought in the process.

 

Abdelmajid Bouziane:  “ICT and MATE: prospects for the future”.

Although MATE has been leading ICT in ELT in Morocco for some years now, there is still room for improving its performance using ICT. This paper provides some suggestions in this matter. First it raises the benefits of creating a database for internal management of the Association. Second, it advocates the interactivity of its website for managerial purposes. Then it suggests creating an interactive platform which will allow more virtual contacts with its members (and non members), SIGs, Local Branches, etc.

 

Project Management for NGOs, Mohammed Hassim & Elmadani Fahmi

The presenters will give an idea about project management within MATE, the difficulties and problems. Then they will talk about the characteristics of a successful project. Finally, they will conclude by how to conduct a successful project within the constraints that MATE works in.

 

Jamal Chahidi: Managing Human and Financial Resources. (in Arabic)

 

Elarbi Imad: Towards Effective Governance in the Management of NGOs.

The purpose of the presentation is to highlight the issue of good governance which is now regarded as a key element in the management of non governmental organizations. Part one defines what good and effective governance is. Part two deals with managing human and financial resources of NGOs. Part three discusses the importance of monitoring and evaluation as appropriate methods to improve the performance of NGOs and help them to build their capacity. 

 

Abdelkrim Raddadi: Fundraising Methods and Strategies

Fundraising for an organization is a tricky endeavor and a challenging operation. While the right fundraiser can make large amount of money to support a program of your organization, the wrong one can actually lose a lot staff time and put the organization in awkward situations. Tough there are no set rules for fundraising, this paper aims at providing process for identifying, researching, and contacting potential private sector funders to seek their support for cultural events and related activities.

The workshop will work on specific proposal projects and provide material and formats.
