The voting process for selecting projects at Kwanda is designed to be transparent and inclusive. Here's how it works:
Project Proposal: A detailed proposal is drafted for each potential project. This proposal includes:
The context within which the proposed solution was founded, providing background on the community needs and challenges.
Information about the local partner(s) who will be implementing the solution
A comprehensive plan of execution outlining the steps and timeline for the project
Expected outcomes and impact metrics
Proposal Publication: Once the proposal is finalized, it's published on our platform for members to review.
Member Notification: Members who have subscribed to email notifications will receive an alert when a new proposal is published, ensuring they don't miss the opportunity to participate in the voting process.
Voting Period: Members are given a set period to review the proposal and cast their votes.
Voting Threshold: For a proposal to pass and be approved for funding, it must receive a "yes" vote from 50% or more of the voting members. This ensures that projects moving forward have substantial support from our community.
Results Announcement: After the voting period closes, the results are tallied and announced to the community.
This process ensures that our members have a direct say in which projects Kwanda supports, aligning our investments with our community's priorities and values.
