It will entail issuing solicitations to local organizations, reviewing and pre-screening applications, awarding grants, monitoring and evaluating grant performance, closing out grants, and reporting to USAID. Qualifying sub-grantees of this seed funding will be chosen through local competitive processes. Individual sub-grants are expected to be at least P10,000,000 each. Sub-grants of smaller amounts may also be considered for innovative proposals that meet USAID objectives.
