Reviewing Applications

This section describes how to use the Dashboard to review applications for NGO Registration and Accreditation.

Reviewing applications

As a sector entity or MFDP staff responsible for reviewing applications, you are able to review applications. To begin, log in to the Dashboard and click the Review NGO Accreditation button from the navigation bar.

By default, you will see the list of applications which are ready for your review. You can also click to see all applications (including applications you have previously reviewed) by clicking the Show all applications button.

To begin reviewing an application, click the Review application button next to any application.

Review an application

You will see all the information about this application on a single page. At the top, you will see basic information about the organisation, followed by more detailed information, board members, contact details, documents, and a list of projects.

You will see only the list of documents which are required for this type of application. You can download documents by clicking on the relevant document.

You can see all the information about a specific activity by clicking on the title of the activity.

When you have completed your review, you can choose between three buttons:

• Approve -- approves the application, allowing it to continue to the next stage of the application process. In the pop-up dialogue, you can optionally provide a message -- for example, if there was something unusual about this application which led you to approve it. However, you are not required to do so.
• Return to NGO for Additional Information -- returns the application to the NGO, so that they can provide additional information. You must provide a message to the NGO to explain what additional information is required. Please be as descriptive as possible.
• Reject -- rejects the application. This option should be very rarely used, and only if the applicant stands no chance of success (e.g. if they are not the sort of organisation that should be accredited. Normally you should simply return the application to the NGO to ask for additional information, as required.
