Overview : UNCDF deploys a diverse set of investment mechanisms including grants, loans and guarantees that are specifically designed to leverage additional resources and extend the reach of the financial mechanisms, systems, and markets, where they would not go without the incentives and demonstrative value provided by UNCDF. Since 2020, UNCDF is using a solution accessible for both internal staff for administration and management along with external users for application, review, and monitoring. The organization currently seeks the acquisition of a software solution to design a grant making facility for organizations and businesses in developing countries The main objective is to identify a software solution that can help UNCDF to publish, manage and monitor call for proposals and other types of applications fully online. The software will allow us to do Request for Proposal for Grants management. This solution should consider the historical data from our current platform. In particular, the software will need to help UNCDF to address the following issues: - Reduce time of processing
- Flexibility in configuration
- Accessibility by internal staff and external users
- Database integration with other systems
- Workflow management
- The software will allow UNCDF to:
- Source, review, manage and monitor investments, from publication of the call for proposals, eligibility screening and opening records, technical panel evaluations and other approvals.
- Quickly reports on ongoing or past proposals
- Build and adopt integrations compatible with existing IT stack architecture
- Easily communicate with all the stakeholders
- Automate workflows
- Measure the usage and visits of each call for proposal published in the platform
