PHC SERVICE PROPOSAL

Project: Albinism Advocacy Africa

Starter Pack (6 months) for Humanitarian Project

Dear Sir or Madam,

Many early-stage humanitarian projects don’t fail because the cause is weak, they fail because governance is weak. The result is predictable: avoidable admin overload, unclear priorities, weak documentation, and reporting that becomes painfully retroactive. That uncertainty increases funder risk and slows good projects down.

We are therefore seeking sponsorship for a time-bound, staged Governance & Transparency Starter Pack for Albinism Advocacy Africa. This is best understood as a de-risking instrument, not a traditional programme grant: it gives funders full visibility, donor-ready reporting, and a clear stop/continue decision point, while enabling the project team to stay focused on delivery.

Project focus (the local delivery need)

The project focuses on urgent, practical needs that protect health and dignity, including:

What we are asking you to sponsor (the governance-first solution)

We are seeking sponsorship for a 6-month PHC Starter Pack, delivered by Order Efficiency Ltd at a humanitarian rate (PHC consultancy delivered at 10% of standard commercial cost). Total required funding is approximately Β£9,000. includes not only PHC Consultant cost but an allowance for some computer costs, training and founder payments during the 6-month term.

The Starter Pack prevents the project being forced into slow, phone-based administrative burden and retroactive reporting. It provides reliable remote structure and support from an office-based delivery team.

In short: delivery stays the focus, while governance, tracking, reporting and stakeholder confidence are built in from day one.

What the sponsor receives

By sponsoring this Starter Pack, you receive:

  • Monthly donor-ready reporting
  • Clear visibility of costs, activities and outputs
  • Evidence capture as a natural by-product of delivery
  • A clear stop/continue decision point each month
  • A practical foundation for scale-up funding

How the 6 months is structured (stage-gated on purpose)

Stage 1 β€” 7-Day Review (Go / No-Go): rapid viability + governance check producing an evidence-led snapshot (critical concerns, immediate actions, baseline plan, reporting format).
Stage 2 β€” Setup Phase (first ~2 months): implement PHC data structures and operating rhythm.
Stage 3 β€” Continuation Phase (renewable 3-month periods): day-to-day PHC Service work keeping SCALPED lists current, linking evidence, and providing reporting.

Why the Review exists (two reasons): (1) to enable fail-fast β€” if the project is going to fail, it should fail early, visibly and cheaply, preventing wasted funding; and (2) to provide stakeholders practical by-example assurance that PHC will be beneficial in ways that are often new to teams.

Sponsorship Options (staged risk, fund in slices)

Support can be provided as monthly tranches or stage funding aligned to outputs and reporting (whichever you prefer).

Option A β€” Fund the 7-Day Go/No-Go Review (Stage 1)

Purpose: confirm readiness and create an evidence-led start plan

You receive: a β€œGo / No-Go” report, baseline concerns/risk register, simple plan and budget structure

Option B β€” Fund the first 2 months (Setup Phase)

Purpose: establish operating rhythm, tracking, reporting, and early delivery proof

You receive: month 1–2 reports showing activity, spend evidence, and beneficiaries reached (appropriately safeguarded)

Option C β€” Fund the full 6-month Starter Pack (Setup & Continuation)

Purpose: complete the pilot and produce a funder-grade evidence pack for scale

You receive: monthly reporting + a final evidence/learning pack + scale recommendations

(Any of these options can be funded as a standalone decision, or combined as a phased pathway.)

What the Starter Pack includes

Likely questions (answered upfront)

[+] β€œWhy fund governance/admin instead of direct services?”

Because governance prevents beneficiary funding being eaten later by unmanaged admin and retroactive reporting β€” and it makes delivery fundable earlier.

[+] β€œΒ£10k feels high for a small project.”

It is delivered at 10% of commercial cost, and replaces fragmented consultancy/tools with a single accountable framework and repeatable outputs.

[+] β€œWhat if it fails?”

That is exactly the point: it fails early, visibly and cheaply, with full records, lessons captured, and controlled spend.

[+] β€œWhy external governance?”

Local leadership and trainee roles are built in so capability transfers to the team and dependency is avoided.

Next step

If you are open to a short call, we would welcome 15–20 minutes to confirm:

  1. stage-gated vs full starter pack preference
  2. reporting cadence/format you prefer
  3. any restrictions you’d like applied (ring-fencing, branding, geography, safeguarding, governance interfaces, etc.)

Thank you for considering an approach that makes delivery credible, accountable, and reviewable β€” while keeping the delivery team focused on outcomes.
