SDC staff will identify qualifying communities on the basis of the information contained in the letters of intent. Each letter of intent will be judged on the five mandatory criteria and all other information provided will be reviewed. If the letter of intent doesn’t meet these criteria, the application will be rejected. Candidates will be informed in writing whether or not they qualify for the second round of the application process; qualifying communities will also be notified by telephone or e-mail to expedite the process.

For the final selection of communities, SDC will conduct an internal evaluation of the proposals on the basis of predetermined criteria that will be forwarded to qualifying communities after their letters of intent have been reviewed. SDC will also carry out an external evaluation of the proposals by asking stakeholders to assess the extent to which the community concerned is prepared to take part in the pilot project, to make the efforts required to help ensure its success, and to complete the pilot project.

SDC will combine the results of the internal and external evaluations in order to do a final ranking and will make final recommendations. SDC will try to get communities in various regions and provinces to participate. Candidates will be informed in writing whether or not their proposal has been accepted.
