Will there be an evaluation committee per country or is it the same committee that will evaluate for each European country? Proposals from all the participating countries will be selected by the same pool of assessors and jurors.

What happens after the D-MADE competition? Winners of the D-MADE Competition will sign a project agreement that includes a milestone and disbursement schedule for the award grant. Grant payments will correspond to the milestones specified in the winner’s proposal. Each project will receive technical assistance and will be monitored for a period of one year. The performance and lessons learned of the projects will be disseminated to the broader Diaspora and development communities.
