Grants management practice at SMC MISHD program

Abstract

I am a student of BRAC Business School, BRAC University. As a part of my BBA course curriculum I got an opportunity to conduct a three months long internship program at SMC. During that time, I had come to know about different projects and programs those are being run and implemented by SMC currently. The project I was involved with was USAID’s MARKETING INNOVATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTH DEVELOPMENT (MISHD). The project is the successor of MARKEING INNIVATIONS FOR HEALTH (MIH). MISHD started its journey from the point sealing the end if MIH, October 2016. MISHD will continue to implement its activities till October 2021. The goal of the project is to contribute to sustained improvements in the health status of women, children and families in Bangladesh by increasing access to and demand for essential health products and services using social marketing tools and concepts through the private sector. Throughout my internship period I worked with the department Grants & Compliance. The report emphasizes on the topic Grants Management of project MISHD of SMC. More specifically to know about how the management system I conducted a survey on Grants Management. In this report I have also covered my survey result breakdown, some other findings throughout my internship program and recommendations for Social Marketing Company (SMC).
