Some FAQs at Asha, Seattle meetings. • How many rs are we spending per kid per year? • Does the amount being spent on infrastructure items (building schools, repairing roofs, etc. ) look reasonable? • Where exactly is the partner located? (especially for remote projects. Be ready to locate the project area on a map) • What is the graduation rate of the school? • What is the student to teacher ratio in class rooms? • What is the girl to boy ratio in the school? • What are the line items in the budget? • Why is the partner asking for more funding for line item N? (You will be asked this if there are changes in the budget line items) • Community opinion of the project. • What went well, what didn’t go as expected, what can be done differently. FAQs
