Screening and approval criteria
When processing incoming applications, DPOD looks first and foremost at whether the activity is in line with the strategy for DPOD’s Mini-Programme.
The criteria are more extensive for projects than for other activities. Accordingly, project applications must make a compelling argument that the project is consistent with the relevant country strategy, if such a strategy exists for the country in question. This is to ensure that project activities are based on in-depth knowledge of the national context and specific needs of the local disability movement.
Furthermore, DPOD considers the following aspects when processing a project application:
- The DPOD member organisation’s experience, capacity and potential need for training
- The partner organisation’s structure and status
- The target group: Has it been clearly defined and realistically described?
- The project preparations, including research and coordination with others prior to application
- Actors involved in preparations and degree of participatory approach.
- Planned activities and objectives: Are they logically coherent and realistic?
- Project strategy: Is it clear and convincing?
- Concerns regarding gender, children and youth, and people living with HIV/AIDS
- Considerations of sustainability
- Plan for information within Denmark: Is it effective and realistic?
