The Virtual Office contains an online self-assessment test in order to find out if your organisation is eligible for Hivos funding. If you pass this test successfully, you can go on to fill in Application Form A. If your proposal has been assessed as being interesting, you will be asked to fill in Application Form B.
After you have submitted Application Form A, you will receive a notice whether and/or why:
• Your proposal has been rejected;
• Your proposal has not yet been assessed;
• Your proposal has been assessed as being interesting. You will be given Application Form B, which contains detailed questions on the programme set-up, the context of your organisation and its accountability structure;
• Your proposal has been assessed as a possible Microfund Project. You will either be asked for further clarifications or you will receive a contract right away.
After you have submitted Application Form B, you will receive within a rejection or information about the rest of the procedure.
It is possible that you will be contacted to provide further clarifications or to make an appointment to visit your organisation before Hivos decides to approve or reject your proposal.
