Topic outline

  • The RuralInvest elearning consists of a series of four courses and a set of tutorials designed to assist project facilitators to work with communities, groups or individuals wishing to prepare effective investment proposals.

    The four courses guide facilitators through the process of developing an investment proposal for small-scale community or family investment projects in rural areas.

    The courses illustrate the participatory process of developing projects in collaboration with the project owners and demonstrate how to use the RIV20 software in creating both a feasibility snapshot and final project detail from beginning to end.

    • Audience

      RuralInvest can be used by any public or non-governmental organization (NGO), financial institution or donor-funded project assisting entrepreneurs, producer organizations and communities in preparing and appraising their investment proposals for funding to support rural investments and business development.
