Conclusions & Recommendations
27.1.3 - TEC recommendations to the ITI team
Conclusion/Recommendation:
For future TEC books, TEC requests that ITI:
- Include updates on ongoing surveys and insecurity in the comments (e.g., this was done well in Sudan’s application)
- Continue thinking through the best way to display multiple rounds in one year; there was confusion over interpreting the annual round number column
- For mid-year requests, add “NONE” to TEC Decision Column
Action:
The program team has worked with David Addiss to streamline how ITI represents mid-year requests and multiple rounds in one year in the applications. The new formatting is being used during the TEC 29 application reviews.
