Our Services
Knowledge Sharing, Training and Publication services PDF Print E-mail

 

With the experience of TMGF and particularly those too of its partners organisation and other co-opted Diaspora, a core TMGF service is in encouraging knowledge sharing, networking and Diaspora community actions. We do this via:

  • TMG Conferences, e.g. the TMG2006 African Diaspora Conference on Sustainable Development.
  • TMG Workshops and Tutorials, e.g. TMG 2007 Africa Diaspora Workshops on Sustainable Development
  • Publication Services – e.g. see our Archive Papers on past TMG conferences and/or workshops on the Home Page;
  • Projects Funnel: Publishing TMGF-qualified projects which need YOUR support
 
Publishing Qualified Projects Needing Support PDF Print E-mail

 

Drawing from Services 1, 2 and 3 (i.e. post consultancy assessment, advice and actions of an organisation), TMGF can further support organisation by helping to publish - with their permission - our findings and recommendations to other interested stakeholder groups who may want to drive specific projects with these organisations.

This is a key - and most important aspect - of TMGF. Being a small team, we want the maximum leverage we can muster to achieve our aims.

Hence, publishing TMGF-qualified projects and coaxing and facilitating other groups to champion them not only makes sense, but promotes more Diasporan Groups working together.

A Table of current Qualified projects will follow shortly here.

Similarly, you will be able to read details of some Case Studies here shortly.

Consultancy Advice PDF Print E-mail

TMGF can then advise the organisation (or board of directors/trustees) on, and in certain circumstances support, courses of action such as:

  • Continue or discontinue existing priorities;
  • Make changes to management and execution of projects (which TMGF could support);
  • Propose Diaspora support on some priorities (e.g. getting some Diaspora Groups to champion specific projects); and
  • Propose funding development activities (which TMGF could (or broker) support with its partners).
  • And much more: Read Example Consultancy report here and more details


Advice - Details

Constructing and documenting the strategic advice typically involves a further two to five days of work, though more detailed deliverables including a work plan would be more involved.

  • The main deliverable would be a relatively short document or presentation.
  • The cost for strategic advice is normally between 5K to 12.5K UK pounds sterling, exclusive of taxes and expenses. Fees for a more detailed service would be considered on a case-by-case basis.
 
Assessment Consultancy PDF Print E-mail

TMGF due diligence services assesses and qualifies potential partner organisations strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats to their sustainability:

  • What the organisation is doing (or aims to do) and their track record to date;
  • How can and how long will it take for TMGF to help – if at all TMGF can. We do NOT pretend we can be of help to all organisations and we have to say - No - to many deserving organisations because we cannot help;
  • Who the key personnel driving the organisation are – and their experience or lack of;
  • Why TMGF could or should get involved;
  • Where (as in what core identifiable priority areas) TMGF and its partners can add value;
  • When (as in a clear project/programme priority plan) of what TMGF (and its partners) can do when, how and with who
     

The TMGF team can also provide guidance to such sustainable development. See Section on Consultancy Advice.
