SOMETHING YOU CAN PREPARE
A project brief with a checked budget, responsibilities, ongoing costs, provider questions and an honest list of missing information.

WHO DECIDES AND WHAT TO VERIFY
1. Confirm all eligibility, cost, repayment, ownership and deadline details with the actual provider. This guide is not financial advice.
2. Ask who owns the result and carries the risk. A project should build community capacity rather than transfer control through unclear terms.

REFLECTION
Will the benefits, skills and decision-making stay with the people the project is meant to serve?
