How quickly will DFID respond?
For rapid onset disasters, we can respond within hours. For other proposals, we shall let you have a decision as quickly as possible taking account of the nature and urgency of the project, the completeness of the information provided by you, and the resolution of any queries raised by us. If a final decision has not been made within three weeks of submission, we shall let you know where we are in terms of the project appraisal process. We shall also let you know the reasons for turning down a proposal.
