Preparing and Presenting Proposals – A Guidebook on Preparing Technology Transfer Projects for Financing

This technical document aims to assist project developers in developing countries and other stakeholders in preparing financing proposals that will meet the standards of international finance providers. A proposal consists of a plan to do something, combined with a request for resources. While no single formula or template exists for preparing a successful proposal, there are common ingredients that most well-prepared proposals contain. This guidebook explains these common elements using a question-and-answer framework.
