General questions as a guide for a project application


Answers to the following questions will help Ghana School Aid to establish whether a project is worth supporting, also in comparison to others, get an idea of the depth of thought and preparation that has gone into it, and make sure we can assess whether we want to fund the project / recipient again. Please consult our website about our current strategic priorities to make sure your application falls within what we can fund. Especially from more developed / established organisations / applicants, we ask for high quality applications, and reporting. The last question on reporting is meant to encourage applicants to think about what is most important to them in the project and their wider work.
