Assume that both NGOs have said that they want to work with you as a partner. The Management Board of your own NGO is considering whether to enter into a partnership but, before it does, it has asked you to prepare a report answering the following questions:
1. On the basis of the information available to you, which project do you recommend for partnership?
2. What further information do you need from the NGO before you make a final decision to go ahead?
3. How do you think you might organise your partnership, taking into account the fact that the Afghan project is led by a NGO based elsewhere?
4. How will you monitor the project: what reports will you want from the project team and when?
5. How will you evaluate the project, given your NGO's interest in scaling-up the work?
In writing the report, assume that there are limited funds for management costs over and above direct project funding but spending should be carefully controlled.
The two projects are:
1. Empowering Poor Rural Girls in Paraguay. It can be found on the Global Giving UK site ([login to view URL]). Use the theme (Women and Girls) and then the country (Paraguay) to find the project description and the associated information document (Word).
2. Transform Lives of 70,000 Afghan Adolescent Girls. Find this in the same way on the Global Giving site
