FSC projects implementation methodology

Our methodology envisages 5 working directions mentioned below, all with the application of following approaches: do no harm, conflict sensitivity, don’t left any group, gender consideration and covid-19 protocol.

The first direction includes participatory action learning at the beginning of the project implementation, doing separate individual and groups meetings with the targeted beneficiaries to identify needs, bring the possibility of intervention and coordination with key actors and opinion makers.

The second direction is learning by doing through conducting capacity/skills building and awareness raising activities.

The third direction is providing micro start-up grants for the targeted groups through the following process and procedures includes forming screening committee, announcements, clarifications, applications, screening, selection, communication, coordination, signed contracts, guarantee, transferring budget and monitoring and evaluation.

The fourth direction is go and see and come and tell approach through conversation verification, reports and field visits.

The fifth direction is outcome harvesting through conducting learning among each-others meeting with all grantees and community participants to measure the impacts and outcome of the interventions.
