Submitted proposals will undergo a technical appraisal by the Fund. The team will assess each PD according to five overall technical appraisal criteria, each with detailed sub-criteria, and assign a priority ranking.
The technical appraisal criteria are:
- Desirability
- Viability
- Sustainability, safeguards, risks, and potential impact
- Value for money
- Capacity to leverage additional resources
The Rwanda Green Fund Investment Committee will carry out the strategic appraisal of the shortlisted project proposals. The Investment Committee will endorse the final successful projects to be sumbitted to the Board of Directors for a final decision.
The Rwanda Green Fund Board of Directors is responsible for approving the Fund's investment.
The Board of Directors will review the endorsement and recommendations of the Investment Committee and approve projects for award grant.
The Rwanda Green Fund will thereafter provide the final feedback to applicants though an official letter.
