to award the ASANKA Special Grant - Creative Initiatives
Groups/organizations/individual activists will be asked to submit their concept notes within three (3) weeks.
Concept Notes are accepted from groups/organizations/individual activists based in the sub-region or in the diaspora over a 3-week period.
All eligible Concept Notes are translated into English or French.
Concept notes are reviewed by the panel virtually, respecting the principles of confidentiality and absence of conflict of interest.
The contacts for each Concept Note will make a presentation to the Panel by video call to explain and justify the project they have submitted. Final decisions are made by the Panel.
The ISDAO Board of Directors validates the grants awarded by the Panel. With the exception of any red flags or major concerns identified, the overall decision made by the Panel, independently and autonomously, is respected. This is a process in which the Board of Directors approves all funding for treatment and shares Red Alert cases, if any. This validation is an administrative process and is part of the accountability and governance measures of the ISDAO.
The Communications team sends a notification communication to all groups/activists who submitted a Concept Note based on the outcome of the decision of the decision-making panel.
Funds are transferred to the bank accounts of the recipients or their fiscal hosts within two to three weeks of signing the agreement. All individual activists will receive grants through a fiscal host of their choice.
