Eligibility Screening: The GPF secretariat reviews whether the program submissions meet the eligibility criteria. First Level Screening: The National Selection Committee (NSC) goes over all applications to initially screen and identify programs with high potential. These programs will be turned over to the Regional Selection Committee (RSC) for a more in-depth assessment and review.
Second Level Screening: The RSC evaluates and recommends programs for elevation to the next screening level.
Third Level Screening: The NSC reviews the RSC recommendations and identifies the programs for site validation.
Site Validation: Assigned NSC members and (as necessary) selected RSC members and GPF personnel validate program claims and clarify concerns raised in previous screening levels. Results of the validations serve as basis for the NSC to select the programs to be subjected to the final presentation.
Panel Interview: The local chief executives (LCEs) and/or program officers of qualified entries present and defend their programs before the NSC members and their co-finalists. |
