Idea Brief/Proposal Evaluation Criteria

In addition to compliance with SEETF requirements, the following criteria will be used to evaluate proposals:

  • The proposed experience exchange should be intended to lead to a specific concrete action, such as a policy decision or new legislation.
  • It should be clear what follow up action is expected.
  • A letter from the government, copied to the Ministry of Finance (if it is not from that Ministry). Letters need not follow any standard format(Note: required at the proposal formulation stage).
  • The proposed experience exchange should not be supply driven.
  • The proposed experience exchange should not be continuation of an activity that has already been supported by the World Bank.
  • The proposed experience exchange should not be intended as the preparatory step for a possible large activity that would again require trust funded support.
  • The proposed experience exchange should not be to facilitate learning on how to write studies or research proposals – they should be exchanges of experience between practitioners or policy makers.
  • The proposal should not be for work that is typically done as AAA or ESW Bank work.
  • The associated BB needs to be indicated.
