- In the second stage, these selected proposals will receive seed funding up to US$25,000 to develop a full technical proposal with detailed budget for the impact evaluation.
Eligibility & Criteria-
- Countries classified as low, lower-middle, and upper-middle income are eligible to submit proposals.
- SIEF will finance impact evaluations in the areas of: i) Early Childhood Nutrition, Health and Development, ii) Basic Education Service Delivery, iii) Health Systems and Service Delivery, and iv) Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene for Sustainable Human Development.
