“(4) Support the establishment and implementation of strategies for epilepsy management of epilepsy, particularly to improve accessibility to and promote affordability of safe, effective and quality-assured anti epilepsy medicines...” [WHO Resolution 68.20 – The Global Burden of Epilepsy (2015)]
EEO largely depends on a government subvention to undertake all the activities in the organization’s action plan, it has however had to scale up its resource mobilization activities as more funds are needed to address epilepsy challenges. The organization then has to supplement the subvention with donations coming from the various stakeholders. EEO embarks on a robust performance management system results in high productivity from all stakeholders concerned, in order to effectively mobilize resources and effectively manage them in line with the organization’s strategic plan.
By optimizing resources management and aligning the work plan activities to budgeting and promoting a culture of performance improvement, the organization projects a better income return from its fundraising campaigns and income generating projects. Currently the organization is involved in agri-business, poultry, dairy and goats rearing projects which it intends to upscale during the upcoming years.
The organization continues to use fundraising strategies as means of mobilizing resources. The strategies or events lined up are the annual Yellow Golf Tournament, Yellow Valentine’s Day Dinner, Yellow Mother’s Day Dinner and the Epilepsy Marathon. Other interventions are undertaken as when an opportunity presents itself.
EEO continues to solicit new or potential donors both locally and internationally in its drive to secure resources.
