Module 2 handbook

Evaluate and monitor

Ideally, you will plan your investment with an understanding of the current enabling environment in-country and proposal development can continue.

It is important that you evaluate and monitor the enabling environment for any changes in the political, legal, institutional and technological landscape:

• during proposal development
• when the grant is active

Engage and support

You may come across issues that can't be addressed within the investment (for example a lack of frameworks governing use of data). In this situation other, more strategic interventions like engaging and supporting governments, may be needed.

In this instance you may decide to pause or amend the proposal to work within the constraints of the enabling environment. 

Enable investments

If you find parts of the enabling environment are compatible with the proposal, but others aren’t, you can consider amending the proposal so it works within the constraints of the enabling environment.
