Continue drafting CEO Endorsement Request Document

After following the processes laid out in Consult and Refine, the Project Development Team can begin to draft corresponding sections of the CEO Endorsement Request Document. Please remember this is an iterative process, and these sections will be revised multiple times based on (1) feedback from the project manager, and (2) feedback from stakeholder engagement and key partners (e.g., executing partners, government, staff leading child projects within the same program).

Detailed Project Strategy

Based on findings from the Gender Analysis and Stakeholder Consultation, the project strategy should be refined. Accordingly, the Project Development Team should revise Project Strategies and Expected Results (as well as sections on the baseline and barriers, as relevant).

Project governance / Institutional arrangements

Once the project governance has been discussed and finalized, the Project Development Team may write CEO Endorsement Request Project Governance / Institutional Arrangements section. Please follow the attached guidance document. 

Stakeholder Engagement

Following Stakeholder Engagement (and recognizing that stakeholder engagement will likely continue throughout project development), document the results in Stakeholder Engagement. Guidance document attached.

 Gender equality and women’s empowerment

Once the Project Development Team has completed a Gender Analysis and Action Plan, as well as gathered gender-specific information from stakeholder consultation, the Project Development Team should summarize the results under Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment.
