The application process

There is a two stage application process.

The Concept Note

First you must prepare a concept note - to convince the Fund that
  • you have a project proposal which contributes toward improving the enabling environment as set out in the Government's Economic Recovery Strategy and meets the objectives of the Fund and
  • the organisation is eligible
A compelling concept note will describe
  • the issue that you wish to address
  • the way the world will look if you are successful; and
  • the activities that you intend to undertake
It is anticipated that advocacy projects will follow the five step approach though proposals do not need to cover every step. Rather, we encourage organisations to undertake one or two steps and then reapply for further support. Advocacy: 5 step approach
You can download the Concept Note as a Word document to complete and return, though interested BMOs are encouraged to contact the Fund to discuss their idea before completing the form. Concept note
You will find guidance to assist with completing the concept note in the Guidelines for Applicants Guidelines for applicants

The application form

Once your concept note has been approved, you will be invited to complete a detailed application form. This is intended to provide information about how you will manage the project, the budget and the milestones. Application form
As with the concept note, there is guidance available in the Guidelines for Applicants and the Fund Manager is able to provide detailed advice and assistance.
