Developing the Methodology
Describe the timelines and dates for key events. Relate the beneficiaries and stakeholders (APEC and
non-APEC). Link the proposed project with previous projects to show
continuity. State the plan to communicate the results of the project
to others.
APEC PROJECT EVALUATION CRITERIA Relevance: Contribute to APEC goals. Effectiveness: Add value for APEC; SMART (Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely). Efficiency: Achieve “best bang for the buck.” Follow
APEC budget guidelines. Impact: Indicate the beneficiaries and benefits. Provide
plan to communicate findings. Sustainability: State the methods to ensure continuity of
activities.
PROGRAM DIRECTOR: KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER Be realistic about what you can achieve. Be specific about who will benefit and how stakeholders
will be involved. Show that you’ve done your homework. Be accurate in developing your budget. Remember the audience: not all proposal readers will be
an expert.
