In each of the 7 thematic areas all applications were scored and evaluated by at least two external, independent experts according to the criteria published in the call for proposals. Based on the ranked list, three-member Selection Committees approved the proposals to go on to the second phase; two of the members were internal, delegated by the Fund Operator and the third one an external contributor. Delegates of the donors and a representative of the Hungarian government also participated at the meetings as observers – they expressed their satisfaction with the impartial procedures and the high professional quality of the work.
The applicants approved for the second phase may start working with the on-line application form after Easter – the deadline to submit the full proposals will be the 2nd of July, 6 p.m. During the end of April, beginning of May the Fund Operator will organize workshops in several locations to help prepare for developing second phase proposals along the goals and priorities of the call. The Operator will directly invite all organizations concerned.
Applicants not approved now will be notified individually as well over the next three weeks, including their scores and justification for the rejection. At this stage there is no appeal against the decision, but everyone has the opportunity to submit another, further developed proposal for the third call for proposals planned to be announced in early autumn.
