Congratulations! Your group?s proposal has been chosen to become a finalist forthe Tingim Yut Kompetisen.This is a major achievement as we received over 670 proposals from all overPapua New Guinea and only 25 have reached the final round. Your proposal hasalready been reviewed by an assessment team made up of experts in development intwo rounds of assessment. Now there is only one more round to go! From thisgroup of 25 finalists, we expect about 10-15 projects to be selected forfunding.Now that you have been chosen as a finalist, there are a number of things youneed to be prepared for: You need to choose one representative from your group who can attend a three-day workshop on project planning and implementation at the Divine Word University in Madang from May 14-16. Participation in this workshop is optional. All the costs for it are being met by the World Bank and that includes your representative?s travel to and from the workshop. We will need to receive the name and contact details of your representative by May 7 so that we can arrange flights and accommodation in Madang. The World Bank office will be contacting you about this soon. The workshop in Madang is designed to assist your group to further develop your initial proposal so that it can be sent to our jury panel for the final stage of the competition. Enclosed with this letter is an example of the final proposal form that your group will have to complete and return to us by 6th June, 2008. Between now and the Madang workshop, you will need to discuss your project proposal again with your group, partner organization and community and start drafting answers to the questions in the final proposal so that you can work on them further at the workshop. A representative from all finalist groups will be funded to travel to Port Moresby for the Tingim Yut Kompetisen Awards Day on Saturday 21st June, 2008. We recommend that the person you choose to go to the Madang workshop also goes to Port Moresby so that they can confidently represent your group and talk in detail about your project proposal with the jury panel. The jury panel is made up of six highly regarded Papua New Guineans who will have reviewed your final proposal before meeting you on 21st June in Port Moresby. On the day of the awards presentation, they will circulate among the finalists? display ?booths? and interview you for 15 minutes about your project. When they have interviewed all of the finalists, they will meet together and decide on the winners. To assist the jury with understanding your project, we would like you to bring information and display materials to Port Moresby that will help to visually illustrate your project and your community. You can be as creative as you like about this. You group will have an opportunity to discuss your displays at the Madang workshop. If you become a winner, we will require your group?s bank details (Bank name, Branch name, Account Name and Number) so that arrangements can be made for funds to be transferred as your project progresses. If you have any concerns about any of the above, please the World Bank office in Port Moresby on 321 7111. Again, we congratulate you and your group for making it into our group of finalists and we look forward to meeting you in Madang and then in Port Moresby in June. Yours sincerely,
