Can I submit more than one proposal? No. We suggest that groups submit proposals based on their core competencies and areas in which they deem themselves most suited to the eligibility criteria.

Is any support foreseen in preparing the project proposals? Yes. The participating diaspora organizations will be introduced to the Capacity Enhancement Needs Assessment (CENA) methodology and approach which has been designed and piloted by the World Bank Institute in several countries. Generally, applicants will learn and apply the five basic steps of the CENA in assessing and evaluating their proposals; use the acquired skills and knowledge to design projects, implement, track and monitor progress during implementation, and undertake detailed evaluation upon completion of the projects. Information will be made available on the website in due course. Additional resources are made available online (such as sample project proposals).
