The evaluation and selection criteria for proposals under calls for projects are essential to ensure the success and effectiveness of initiatives.
Here are some key steps and common selection criteria
Defining evaluation criteria
Before launching a call for projects, it is crucial to clearly define the evaluation criteria. These criteria must be aligned with the project's objectives, and enable an objective and fair assessment of the proposals submitted.
Relevance to project objectives
Proposals should be evaluated on their relevance to the project's objectives and specific needs. Applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the issues at stake and propose appropriate solutions.
Technical and methodological quality
Proposals should be evaluated on their technical and methodological quality. This may include analysis of the proposed methodology, relevance of technical approaches and feasibility of the proposed plan.
Impact and potential benefits
Proposals should be evaluated on the basis of their potential impact and benefits for the target organization or community. Applicants should demonstrate how their project will contribute to achieving the stated objectives and solving the identified problems.
Feasibility and realism
Proposals should be assessed for feasibility and realism. Applicants must provide clear action plans, realistic timelines and appropriate budgets to successfully implement their project.
Innovation and creativity
Innovation and creativity are also important criteria to consider when evaluating proposals. Applicants should propose innovative and creative ideas to address project challenges in an original and effective way.
Candidate experience and skills
Finally, the candidate's experience and skills must be assessed. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in the relevant field, as well as successful experience in implementing similar projects.
By following these evaluation criteria and conducting a rigorous and transparent assessment of proposals, project managers can identify the best initiatives and maximize their project's chances of success.
