Inaugural Call for Proposals: Youth Entrepreneurship.
Deadline: September 7, 2010
What is it about?
"The Fund for Evaluation in Youth Employment" has been set up by the Youth Employment Network (YEN) thanks to generous support from the Danish sponsored Africa Commission through the Youth Entrepreneurship Facility and the Jacobs Foundation, to contribute to the evidence gap for effective programme design and delivery. The Fund will provide technical and financial support to qualified organizations for designing and conducting their impact evaluation. The inaugural call for proposals will be launched on June 25, 2010.
The Concept paper should be read in parallel when filling out the application form. Applicants can also participate in the YEN Evaluation Groupsite and access additional resources to help them fill out the application form.
NB: Funding will only go to support the impact evaluation and will not cover any cost associated with project delivery.
Who is eligible?
Eligible organizations include any NGO, government, multilateral organization, research firm or academic institute throughout the world. Proposed projects to undergo the evaluation must be based in Sub-saharan Africa. The working language will be English. In this first call for proposals, only projects whose objectives involve creating self employment opportunities, developing entrepreneurial skills and competences, and improving access to finance will be eligible. Partnerships between youth employment project teams and research institutions are strongly encouraged.
What is the selection process?
Stage 1 - Application Form: Qualified proposals will be shortlisted by a selection taskforce and asked to attend a YEN Evaluation Clinic where they will improve and refine their evaluation design.
Stage 2 - Evaluation Plan: After participating in the Clinic, shortlisted candidates will submit a full evaluation plan to the selection taskforce who will then determine financial support.
What are the benefits to shortlisted projects?
1) Travel paid to participate in YEN’s Evaluation Clinic
2) Consultation on how to refine and improve evaluation design
3) Possibility to receive financial support for conducting evaluation upon approval of full evaluation plan
What is the timeline?
