Under cover of letter of 23 July 2004, a standardized IBSP Project Proposal Form was sent to National Commissions for UNESCO, together with introductory notes giving criteria for identifying and evaluating IBSP project proposals, and guidelines on how to complete the Form and submit proposals. The Form was circulated so as to facilitate the preparation and evaluation of project proposals at the initial phase of the IBSP.
UNESCO has since received a number of requests for additional clarification on the IBSP and the project proposals that may be submitted.
The questions received can be grouped under a few headings principally embracing the terms of reference of IBSP, participating countries, procedural issues and budgetary aspects. Some stem from a lack of knowledge of UNESCO’s mandate and programme.
The present paper has been prepared in response to these enquiries. It is presented in a question/answer form.
