Award Size: Currently estimated at $15-20K/project DM recommends to be $15K/project to provide greater

investment in fewer projects. This would facilitate monitoring during implementation.

Number of WinnersIf $500K is mobilized,

Possible Scenario 33-40 winnersNote: exact number of winners and overall award pool

should not be announced with competition to avoid potential letdown if funds are not mobilized.

Indicative Administrative Cost
