You will need to identify a development project and write a short 1-2 page description of the project. The description should include the name of the funding agency, the agency or organization that will receive the funds, the purpose of the project, how the program will measure success or failure (if available), and what problem(s) the program is designed to alleviate. You may select programs/initiatives that are in any stage of completion, from proposal to completed/closed, and from any developing country. A list of useful resources is available below, though you are free to use any available resources in selecting your program or project. You can find a list of World Bank initiatives by following the link below. www.worldbank.org/projects This is the U.K.'s independent evaluator of their development projects Icai.independent.gov.uk/publications/icai-reports/

USAID provides a list of U.S. funded development projects (the search function is a little difficult to use but it has lots of good information) https://dec.usaid.gov/dec/home/Default.aspx# You can also pick a country then try the official website for the country, or Google searches for projects in the country (be careful with this option, make sure this is a legitimate project). If you have any questions about the initiative or project you have selected please ask me.
