STEP 1
• What you need : Concept Note Template + APEC-wide Funding Criteria + Guidebook on APEC Projects 7th Ed.
• Concept Note:– Relevance: the most important criteria - How does the
project meet the priorities of your forum and APEC as a whole? And Why should APEC undertake this project?
– Objectives: What does the project seek to achieve? Be SMART.
– Alignment: How the project will help achieve APEC’s key priorities and meet the forum’s work plan or medium-term plan.
– Methodology: How do you plan to implement the project? Timeline, Stakeholders, Previous Projects, Communication

STEP 1
• No more than 3 A4 pages including the title page.
• Be concise and to the point !
![Page 6: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
STEP 2
• Factors to be considered:– APEC-wide Funding Criteria– Leaders/Ministerial/SOM directives– potential contribution to the forum’s work plan, APEC’s
and the relevant Committee’s priorities– APEC value add and value for money
• 1 + 2 : PP must find a sponsor (usually their own economy) and at least 2 co sponsors to support the ‑project. Check with your PD!

Stage 2 Priority assessment of Concept Notes
![Page 10: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
STEP 5 (Timeframe: 10 days)
• Committee members individually send their ranks, prioritization and justifications to the Secretariat.
Funding Criteria Rank (1-3)
Order of Priority within Rank
EWG 1 1 1-2EWG 2 2 2-2EWG 3 1 1-1EWG 4 3 3-1
SMEWG 1 2 2-1SMEWG 2 1 1-3

STEP 6
• a two-step process: – consensus on the broad band rank is determined by majority– the priority within each broad band rank is determined by
averaging member votes.• APEC Secretariat then sorts the concept notes by fund. • If there are more concept notes than can be funded
within a particular broad band rank, the Secretariat will refer the relevant rankings of to each economy’s Principal Decision-Maker (PDM) for further prioritisation
![Page 12: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STEP 7
• The Secretariat advises the BMC on which concept notes can be funded, based on the priority assessment and the amount available in each (sub)fund.
![Page 13: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
STEP 8
• The BMC provides in-principle funding approval for concept notes, subject to the full project proposals receiving a ‘satisfactory’ quality assessment.
![Page 14: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
STEP 9
• Successful PPs are invited to work with the Secretariat and Project Management Officer to submit full project proposals .
• Unsuccessful PPs can resubmit their concept note in the next funding round. All re-submitted concept notes will be treated as new submissions.
![Page 15: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Stage 3 Full proposal development
![Page 16: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
STEP 10
• APEC Project Proposal Template • Proposals must be succinct, to the point and
address the assessment criteria. • No more than 10 A4 pages.
![Page 17: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“ REEIS “
![Page 18: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“ REEIS “
Relevance: Whether a project is needed to achieving the APEC priorities and objectives of the target group, the recipient member economies and APEC as a whole. Effectiveness: HOW a project will take place, the likelihood that a project will meet its objectivesEfficiency: HOW a project will take place, particularly measuring of the outputs (services, goods) in relation to the inputs (cost of resources) = cost-efficientImpact: WHAT the project seeks to changeSustainability: whether the benefits of a project are likely to continue after the project has finished
![Page 19: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
STEP 11
• PP must secure endorsement of their forum for their full project proposal to be eligible for APEC funding.
• Tool : the Quality Assessment Framework (QAF) • A proposing economy cannot provide a QAF
assessment for its own proposal. But, Co-sponsoring economies can!
![Page 20: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
STEP 12
• The Project Management Unit (PMU) will draw upon the QAF comments and uses REEIS to assess proposals.
• Proposals must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ against REEIS to be recommended for funding.
• APEC Secretariat provides a recommendation to BMC for their approval.
![Page 21: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
STEP 13
• The BMC approves full project proposals requiring APEC funding up to and including USD200,000.
• The BMC recommends projects requiring more than USD200,000 of APEC funding to SOM for approval.
• The Secretariat will notify the PP of the outcome of the BMC’s considerations.

Deadline for CNs submission for S3/2011 : 29 September
Pilot Stage of Multi-Year Project
The “Two Strike Rule”: The rule will be applied at the quality assessment stage – the rule will apply only to proposals that had been granted in-principle approval, but failed to reach satisfactory quality within the required time period.
The Funding Cap: APEC funded amount stated in concept notes will be considered the funding cap allowed at the full proposal stage.
Direct Contracting : PMU will draft a guideline – the appropriate conditions for direct contracts – for BMC members consideration
From Session 3/2011 onwards
![Page 24: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In November 2010, Australia announced A$3 million for theAustralia APEC Partnership for Economic Reform (AAPER) aiming
to increase the capacity of APEC developing economy members to implement structural reform agenda in line with APEC’s New Strategy for Structural Reform (ANSSR).
This will involve the establishment of a sub fund under the‐APEC Support Fund (ASF) : ASF – ANSSR with the total value of
A$2.5 million will be operational from session 3/2011for 3 years.- A$500,000 in 2011- A$1 million in 2012 and- A$1 million in 2013/14
Introduction to ASF - ANSSR
![Page 25: APEC Project Circle Presented by Khemrutai Khemmarat Department of International Economic Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15 December 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e8e5503460f94b91e4c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Projects need to be strongly aligned with individual economies’ plans to implement the ANSSR
Priority will be given to projects that:- Benefit APEC economies that are eligible for development assistance- of a higher value than standard projects (greater than A$200,000); - an implementation period of at least 12 months.
Projects may primarily benefit a single economy butneed to have lessons for APEC members more broadly.
