Guidance for completion
Introduction
This guidance is to be followed when completing the Foreign &
Commonwealth Office’s “Strategic & Bilateral Programme Fund – Project
Proposal Form” for projects worth under £5,000.
Project Implementers, who intend to make a bid for funding, should
contact the relevant British Embassy or High Commission. When
completed, the form will be used to assess whether the project should
be approved for funding.
Implementers must complete all relevant sections of the form.
Project Title: This should be short and easily understood.
Cost: Please provide the total cost of the project and, if there are
other donors involved, state how much you are bidding to the FCO for.
Activity Based Budget: This must be completed – the project proposal
will not be considered without a detailed ABB. Consider all of the
Activities listed to deliver the outputs and estimate their individual
costs. Enter the costs in the month you expect the activities to be
completed. Provide as much detail as possible, (ie do not state just
the figure for a workshop, but break that down into venue, catering,
travel costs etc.). Administration costs should not exceed 10% of the
total project costs.
Timing: Please provide the estimated start and end dates for the
project.
Implementing Agency: Please provide full contact details and the name
of the lead officer for this project.
Background: In no more than 200 words, set out the purpose of the
project, provide background to the issue this project will change and
state why the UK is the most appropriate donor.
Outputs and activities planned - please describe.
Risks: List the key risks involved in running the project and how
those risks will be managed. Please note when the risk would need to
be escalated to the next level in the management chain. Add more lines
as needed. You should consider risks at all levels of the project i.e.
political, administrative, internal etc. Note how likely the risk is,
and what impact it will have on the successful delivery of the project
(Low/Medium/High).
