In opted-in countries, prior to issuing a Call for Proposals (CFP) a consultative process with stakeholders including government, civil society and other donor agencies, is organized to define the key governance issues per country that CSO proposals should address.
This country-tailored, problem-solving approach maximizes the alignment of GPSA activities with the development strategies of countries.
While CSOs in participating countries respond to country-tailored calls, all proposals compete at the global level. Our process for selecting which proposals will be funded is outlined below.

selection process
step 1
CSOs respond to Global Call for proposals. Received applications are reviewed for compliance with general eligibility criteria as detailed in the published guidelines. Select proposals undergo a technical review by the GPSA Secretariat. The ranked list of selected proposals are reviewed by the GPSA Steering Committee, who then pre-selects the list of final proposals.
step 2
Pre-selected proposals are sent to the governments of participating countries for a 10-day commenting period. After this, the proposals are made available for public comments for a 5-day period.
step 3
The proposals then undergo a due diligence process, along with the preparation of a project package, following internal World Bank project processing requirements.
