Abstract

The Harambee Project used the Online Proposal Appraisal (OPA) web-based application for the management of their Small Grants Facility. Their process was twofold: submission of concept notes, followed by the selective invitation to a full proposal from those applicants with a sufficiently strong concept note. The initial testing was done on a development server, running Ubuntu Server 6.06. Some adjustments needed to be made to the package to get it operational. The consensus was that some shortcomings would need to be met before OPA could be employed effectively on a large scale.
