A funded US$300,000 Gates Foundation proposal
Contribution to a Grand Challenges Africa proposal for a health-systems innovation project, awarded US$300,000 — the practical basis for Celenara's grant and proposal development service.
The context
Awards are won on the strength of the science, the feasibility of the delivery plan, and the clarity with which both are argued against a published rubric.
What the work involved
Contribution to a health-systems innovation proposal that was awarded US$300,000 — working on the technical proposition and the results architecture behind the submission.
What it demonstrates
Celenara’s proposal service is not theoretical. It is built on the discipline this submission required: compliance matrix first, methodology written to the specific call rather than recycled, budget cross-checked against the logframe, and the executive summary finalised last so it reflects what the proposal actually says.
Most proposals fail on the evaluator’s checklist before anyone reads the science. We build to the checklist first.
Start with a conversation.
A first call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Tell us what you are trying to achieve and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
