Stovers:
The following could/should be of
interest to many on this list. Below the forwarded material is a second
downloaded section from the RFP instructions - which indicates the type of
material they are looking for.
Please contact me (or I think
many others on this list) if I/we might be able to help proposers in some
way. I might be loosely attached to another proposal or two - but will not
submit one of my own and promise to try to help all equally. The emphasis
is clearly (and should be) on the "south" - and sustainability - and I am sure
many on the list want to try to help. One way could be to help find
partnerships that involve volunteer assistance from the "north". More
after the copied ">" material.

(RWL): (The above Proposal Form is about 5
pages long - not bad.) The following is the part of the
Shell web site that I found most interesting
"Under the HEH theme, the Shell Foundation is
interested in funding projects that emphasise one or more of the
following:
- Improved health outcomes for households (with specific targeting on
vulnerable groups and communities)
- Innovative solutions to household energy problems using local materials
and skills
- Low cost, mass production of improved energy devices
- Innovative micro-finance schemes (eg consumer credit)
- Removal of policy barriers to extending access to improved energy
services
- Replication through commercialisation or scaling up through national or
international programmes
- Financial sustainability
- Promotion of small and micro-enterprise
- Local ownership.
Based on these factors, the Shell Foundation would like to encourage NGOs
(particularly southern based), community based-organisations, small or
micro-enterprises and other southern-based institutions to submit Concept
Proposal Forms under the Household Energy and Health theme. The maximum budget
for each project will be $300,000 over a period of three years."
(RWL): Good luck to all proposers!
