Assessment Criteria Proposals will be assessed according to the following criteria: Innovation The proposed project must present non-conventional approaches to address basic service delivery challenges. Projects seeking to expand existing initiatives are eligible, provided that they exhibit new elements in design or implementation not found in the original initiatives. Partnership The proposed project must contribute towards building partnerships. This means that proponents must involve other institutions or stakeholders, such as national government agencies, local and municipal bodies, community groups, donors, academic institutions, private sector and other members of civil society at implementation, monitoring and evaluation stages. Sustainability The proposal should show how a project can continue to operate and yield benefits beyond the period of the grant award. Replicability Proposed projects must have the potential to be replicated in other parts of the country. It must be possible for other organizations to implement the project idea in places with similar conditions. Impact The proposed project should be able to demonstrate tangible benefits for the intended beneficiaries within 12 months. This impact should be ambitious, yet realistic given the amount of funds provided and the short timeline of implementation. Cost Effectiveness The project should propose effective ways to use the funding and its projected benefits should be commensurate to the size of the grant being requested.
