The Benefits of Matchmaking
Our comprehensive matchmaking process creates significant benefits for both local organisations and donors.
Enhancing mutual awareness of local organisations and donors
We provide local organisations with information on concrete funding possibilities and application procedures.
For donors, we scout, map, and assess potential local partners and their ideas.
Building strategies with local ideas and leadership
Through engaging local organisations in future labs we facilitate developing ideas and strategising action to meet context specific requirements.
We provide donors with comparative assessments of local organisations’ ideas, projects and capacities. MatchLocal also serves as sounding board for evaluation of project proposals and partnerships.
Results-based management of projects
We conduct hands-on training and accompany local organisations in applying result-based management tools for strategic planning, project implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
Trainings are based on international standards of results frameworks, monitoring and evaluation while tailoring the content towards specific donor policies and requirements.
Ensuring compliance and accountability
We assist local organisations in preparing grant proposals that meet the requirements of donors. We provide local organisations with accessible IT solutions for bookkeeping and accountability, corresponding training, and support over the course of their project.
Trainings and solutions provided by MatchLocal meet the specific requirements of grant and procurement systems. This reduces the transaction costs for donors.
Effective networks for sustainable local leadership
We support local organisations in creating and sustaining networks for information exchange, capacity sharing, cooperation, and collaboration.
Through sharing our expertise and facilitating the participation of local organisations in international policy development, we encourage learning from local experiences.
