Rapid Fund Request : Not Funded

Dear @Chukydyk

Thank you for submitting your application. After a thorough review of your proposal, we have made a decision not to fund your proposal. See the notes speaking to the rationale of the decision below;

• It is unclear on the plan for sustained engagement of participants beyond their intervention espeically given that participants are relying on hired laptops for participation. What happens after? What was the strategy in the first place?
• Also in comparison with other projects from Nigeria the budget is inflated and does not align with the requested resources.

Good Day @VThamaini (WMF)

• The hired laptops are specifically for our physical training for those who don't have or who didn't come with theirs to the venue.
• What happens after is that we follow up participants by adding them to our Telegram and WhatsApp group where we still update, answer their questions and put them through.
• The budget is never inflated but as a result of the high cost of living and inflation rate recently in the country the cost of items might differ. We can adjust this Budgets by reducing the number of quantities.
• Lastly, this issues you pointed out are things that can be explained and be adjusted for the proposal go through knowing fully well I carried you along while making this proposal as you suggested.
