Proposal Writing

We had an online meeting a few days ago with our dear CIV GMC friends and also some GPA members. Among many discussions we had the opportunity to ask GPAs what information is the most important in a CIV proposal. They told us that the most important is:

1) Identified needs;

2) Solution proposed;

3) Cost to implement the solution;

Our proposal form has the following sections to write the information above:

• Problem Statement/Description;
• Objectives;
• Budget.

But we also have the following section in our forms: Background and History, Methods, Implementation Plan, Activity Management and Timeline, Monitoring and Evaluation and Executive Summary. These fields will complement the essential information. We have planned a section of Methodology in the next Newsletters. Feel free to contribute with specific methodologies you have been using!
