Abstract

Research on Poverty Alleviation (REPOA) includes poverty reduction through economic growth and socio-economic transformation. This report focuses on organizational, institutional and research capacity improvements supported by the Think Tank Initiative (TTI). Overall, the support has provided positive benefits, helping expand its reach to policymakers. While TTI has improved REPOA capacity to write quality technical proposals, financial proposals have remained a challenge. One critical element of effective financial proposals is the full costing for projects. However, many project funders are reluctant to meet certain costs, such as institutional overheads, at the same demanding lower rates charged for staff time.
