7. Tips for a good proposal

What makes a good proposal ?

35


Coherent (problems, solutions, target groups, activities, budget, ambitions/resources/competence)

Simple (objectives, approach) Evidence based (ex-ante needs analysis, state of art) Clear (identifying the need for such proposal, the solutions, and the

outputs) Rigorous in its planning (which activities, when, for how long,

and with what resources) Explicit (do not take for granted any information, if it is not in the

application it cannot be taken into account) Focused (a proposal is not about solving the world’s problems, but

about solving a specific issue)

Thank you !
