1. Match with the goals and principles of the African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms (AfDec).
2
Explanation for rating:
This proposal largely contributes to awareness raising, but it cites all the strategic areas, presenting a challenge of focus. Although there is an attempt at parntership with the National Youth Council, the applicant does not demonstrate how it goes beyond just the planning of the intervention.
Explanation for rating:
Fair although the proposal does not outline the principles as they are stated in the Declaration it descrices them
2. Extent to which the proposed activities will (if implemented effectively) contribute to implementation of the AfDec 2019-22
2
3. Extent to which the planned activities are well defined and outputs for each activity are clearly identified
2
Explanation for rating:
There are no outputs outlined. It is not clear what they expect to see after the training interventions? There is mention of the national Human Rights Commission and the ACHPR, but no articulation of how the youth will interact with them
4.Analysis of the problem and clarity of objectives
2
Explanation for rating:
Because the problem is not clearly articultated – ie. What has the effect of a lack of digital rights awareness translated to in the country, the related objectives are not defined.
5. Extent to which target audiences or participants are clearly defined and are appropriate
3
Explanation for rating:
With a better focus on the overall impact of the project, this proposal could have identified and targetted other secondary stakeholders such as the authorities related to the laws that the proposal mentions
6. Extent to which planned activities are feasible/realistic within the given time-frame
4
Explanation for rating:
6 regions over 6 months, with 2 trainings being conducted per region is reasonale. However training 100 people per workshop seems overly ambitious. This should be reviewed.
7. Extent to which the project plan includes innovative and exciting activities
1
Explanation for rating:
Not a very exciting proposal, as we don’t see beyond the training.
8. Budget - Refer to project budget.
2
Explanation for rating:
Questionable on the consultants/resource persons. How many will be engaged because not only the Gambia Human Rights Council can address all the issues they highlight in project description.
9. Track record and experience of the organisation
2
Explanation for rating:
Does not demonstrate the impact and extent of their previous training interventions
10. Overall Recommendation | Do you recommend this application for funding?
Maybe
Please explain why:
Not a strong application as it fails to clearly define its problem, have focus on a specific or indivual strategic area and has limited target audience. Outputs of the project not outlined.
