Projects
This page will grow with the work. For now, it shows how a FIG project is born, delivered and evaluated.
How a FIG project is born
The same path for every project, whatever the area or the funder.
Diagnosis
Fieldwork in the community and analysis of available data. The problem is defined in measurable terms, not in generalities.
Design
Objectives, activities, budget and indicators. What counts as success is written down before we start.
Partnership
Identifying delivery and funding partners, and formalising each party’s role.
Delivery
Implementation with our own team and local partners, against a work plan with named responsibilities.
Monitoring
Regular data collection against the agreed indicators. Course correction when the data justifies it.
Evaluation and publication
A final report with results achieved and not achieved, published in the Transparency section.
What we accept as a project
We receive proposals from organisations and from communities. Not all move forward. These are the criteria we apply.
- Addresses a documented problem, not an assumed one
- Falls within at least one of FIG’s three areas
- Has measurable indicators defined up front
- Has an identified local partner, involved from the design stage
- Has a realistic prospect of continuity beyond the initial funding
- Complies with Mozambican law and sector regulations
