"Since The Seed Alliance started in 2012, the three program partners (FRIDA, FIRE and ISIF) have supported 151 projects throughout Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, helping to strengthen and promote the Information Society within these regions. From the beginning of the program, a set of criteria was defined to evaluate the projects supported by Seed Alliance. The criteria work as a system of categories disaggregated into sub-categories which are evaluated both when the projects are initially submitted and when the final reports are presented by the supported organizations. The current report results from the consulting work by the FOCUS team, which was aimed at redefining Seed Alliance´s evaluation system (score card system) looking to improve the comparability among the different projects."
