1.0 INTRODUCTION

We at HEED have embraced a Mission statement that compels us to participate in activities that lead to prevention and/or alleviation of poverty and its’ offshoots in under-served communities such as those found in less developed countries. HEED is thus involved in forming viable partnerships with groupings from under-served communities in as far as commissioning and running development projects is concerned.

HEED has through surveys discovered that most, if not all development projects require infrastructure of one form or another. In most cases, availability of appropriate infrastructure for administrative and operational purposes is critical to the success of development projects on a sustainable basis.

This realization compelled HEED to establish the Infrastructure Resource Mobilization Program. Under this program HEED assists needy organizations by facilitating the process of mobilization of financial resources for construction and/or acquisition of project related infrastructure from donors. The said facilitation entails co-ordination of activities that are related to mobilization of financial aid. Where requested by donors, HEED continuously monitors and evaluates progress and/or success levels of programs that receive funding for infrastructure construction or acquisition from donors.

It must be emphasized that the Infrastructure Resource Mobilization Program is not intended for organisations that need financial aid to cover machinery/equipment acquisition costs, start-up costs and daily operational costs. For the latter reason, applications for this program must be supported by sound business plans that will inter alia indicate from where resources for machinery/equipment acquisition costs, start-up costs and daily operational costs, will be obtained.
