💡 Tips for applicants
- Build genuine partnerships with Senegalese health ministry and local organizations before applying. Letters of support must be detailed and specific.
- Emphasize capacity building and local ownership. Avoid positioning your organization as the primary implementer rather than a supporter.
- Include a clear sustainability plan showing how activities will continue after grant funding ends.
- Align your work with Senegal's national health security priorities and existing government strategies.
- Provide evidence of past success in similar contexts. Use specific examples, not vague claims about impact.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Weak or generic partnerships with local organizations. Applicants must demonstrate deep, reciprocal relationships with Senegalese health institutions. Unclear sustainability plans undermine applications. Reviewers want evidence the work continues after funding ends. Overselling U.S. organization's role instead of emphasizing local capacity and leadership.
