“Police de Proximite”: Community Policing in Diffa Region: Q and A

Question 1. The NOFO lists an Introduction in the proposal narrative while the PSI lists an Executive Summary. Is the Bureau of African Affairs requesting both an Executive Summary (not included in the page count) and an Introduction (included in the page count)? If so, are there any requirements for what should be included in the Introduction?

Response: The introduction is part of the Proposal Narrative and the Executive Summary is a stand-along requirement. The Executive Summary can be a maximum of two pages and the Proposal Narrative (including the introduction) can be a maximum of 20 pages. There are no specific requirements for the introduction included in the Proposal Narrative. When you upload your proposal to grants.gov, both the Executive Summary and the Proposal Narrative can be saved as one document submitted under “Proposal Narrative”.

Question 2. Can the Bureau of African Affairs confirm that the Performance Monitoring Plan includes two components: the M&E Narrative and the Logic Model? Are these two components included in the 20 page count of the proposal narrative or the 5-10 page count of the attachments?

Response: There are two components: the M&E Narrative and the Logical Framework. Please include the M&E Narrative as part of the Proposal Narrative (20-page count) and include the Logical Framework as an attachment (5-10 page count).

Question 3. Does the Bureau of African Affairs prefer any distribution of the 5-10 pages allotted for Attachments between the Roles and Responsibilities, Performance Monitoring Plan, and Timeline?

Response: The Bureau of African Affairs does not have any preference for how they should be distributed.
