RoSa vzw
The client
RoSa vzw is a knowledge centre that provides information and resources and raises awareness about gender and feminism.
The question
When an unexpected opportunity arose to apply for funding from the Flemish Government, RoSa vzw needed to submit a strategic plan. As a small organisation with limited capacity, this had not been part of its usual planning. The team knew that the plan would be crucial to securing the funding, but lacked the time and resources to develop it alone. That was when they turned to us.
The approach
We began by reviewing all the available background material to gain a thorough understanding of the organisation and its field of work. We then used proven frameworks to structure the information and identify gaps in the narrative. The process included several sessions with RoSa’s two directors and a team workshop to gather input and ideas. We helped map the organisation’s existing activities onto the required format, with a clear focus on strategic objectives and impact. The RoSa team retained ownership of the writing, supported by focused feedback and guidance from S&L.
The challenge
The greatest challenge was the deadline. The process had to begin immediately and move quickly. Our team made the necessary time and remained flexible throughout.
The impact
With S&L’s support, RoSa vzw submitted a strong strategic plan that met every formal requirement and brought the organisation’s activities together within a clear strategic framework. The result was not only the intended grant, but also a stronger multi-year plan for the organisation as a whole.
The collaboration
The collaboration was characterized by smooth and clear communication. Expectations were clear on both sides, which ensured that the process went smoothly.
