Each selected proposal is to have a maximum ceiling of seed funding that will be subsequently specified.

In addition, 05 more proposals will be selected for which only a seed funding grant will be provided, which the selected service provider will have to do a one-time disbursement. For this purpose, UNDP will contract the services of an organization which possesses the expertise to carry out the initial incubation and management of the selected proposals.
