NGOs are essential to bringing about change in underdeveloped nations; frequently, they are the ones that hold the government and industry accountable and ensure that progress is being made in the right direction. However, in the present day's world of Ponzi schemes and scams, many NGOs are either being defrauded of the intended donations or are unable to achieve their objectives. In order to have a prolonged involvement of NGOs and their volunteers in developing nations, a transparent method to keep this in check is unquestionably required. The right DAO can significantly increase the impact that NGOs may have on society by keeping them on course and overseeing how monies generated are used. The proposer attempts to find the best possible solution to this problem, and this proposal is an auxiliary project that is concentrated on the research portion while another proposal is made by the team from the perspective of implementation. The author also appears to have a solid answer for each danger involved and is well aware of the potential impact his concept could have. If this proposal is funded, together with its other proposal, it might significantly improve the chain. However, just this suggestion might provide a plethora of new options for programmers engaged in NGO tracking.

This proposal addresses a very critical real world challenge. There are many times donors wholeheartedly release huge sums of money to be used to support victims of disaster or people in need. But due to the fact that there are no accurate systems in place to check accountability, NGOs or sometimes local community leaders misuse funds, not for the intended purposes. This disrupts trust of donors for NGOs and also affect intended recipients. The proposers intend to do a thorough research and use the findings to create a DAO for NGOs so that they operate on Blockchain. This means that every donation, spending, and all activities including decision making processes are captures on the Blockchain and donors will have access to every information they need to have on their donations. This will increase transparency and effectiveness in delivery. Intended beneficiaries of donations will not be affected by inefficiencies in centralized NGO operations. DAOs on the Cardano Blockchain will lead to increased participation and adoption of Cardano by many. There will also be possible increase in project catalyst participation.

This proposal is definitely Cardano's style – proposing research to find a way to make Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) more accountable and fraud-resistant. This idea makes strides toward the un-victimization of people that Cardano strives for. They are starting out on this road conducting interviews with donors and researching the current centralized method of maintaining an NGO. They key metrics of this proposal align with the challenge setting and the proposal is for short-term research but the team has another proposal to further build out a daApp and scale. The proposal includes a roadmap and a long-term (2 years) goal to build a tool to verify eligibility of NGOS and record their behavior on the platform. Ultimately, they would like to “bridge the gap” between NGOs and DAO with an open-source tool. Embarking on this research journey excites me and I find the ask reasonable, rated 5 stars.

This proposal if successful could provide a model for NGO operations from a DAO structure, which has been done on other chains (e.g. Endaoment on Ethereum or Angel Protocol former on Terra), but has yet to have a prominent model on Cardano (to my knowledge). The problem to be addressed here –using a DAO framework to provide transparency to donor/NGO relations is clear and concise, fits within the challenge framework, and could potential provide positive impact on the Cardano ecosystem.

Bridging the gap between NGOs and DAO will have beneficial effect on Cardano. This proposal is focused on investigation and documentation of needs and requirements and NGOs and how they can include DAOs in their operations. The results of research will be published. Results of this proposal can be used to make Cardano a better environment for DAOs, publications can be considered a tool that can be used by the community.

Even though they are only briefly addressed, the readers are given an elaborated plan that includes attainable targets that are set at regular intervals when simply the research portion of the larger plan is taken into consideration. Looking at the impact metrics review reveals that two proposals have been made with a significant amount of work already completed and split effectively. This helps to increase the feasibility metrics by a few points. The proposed finances are also extremely reasonable and appear to be necessary to complete the investigation and present the results. The idea of a UI to share these discoveries is also included by the team in the plan. The introduction of the team was masterful, and it provides a range of skills to the ecosystem. The crew also appears to be aware of the outside resources already at their disposal to help them in their endeavor, which demonstrates their passion and tenacity for making this an exciting experience. The team's plan and long-term objectives reveal the shared large vision, thus the community can anticipate that the project will ultimately have an optimistic implementation and outcome.

There is comprehensive plan presented with stated milestones with time schedule attached. The plan and timelines presented is a realistic one. For a research phase of this work I think the team presented is an amazing team and they will do well. They have the qualification, experience and necessary skills for this proposal. But I think for only the research phase the funds requested is too huge, because the team intends to apply for refunding for the creation of the DAO as well. Nonetheless the budget presented is clear. The team identifies possible risks and have detailed how to handle those risks. I think if this proposal is funded the team can execute but I suggest the budget is cutdown unless otherwise the can defend it well.

The team has included great extras to help the proposal analyzer understand the scope of the project. The skills of the team are clearly listed both in the proposal and on a beta website linked to the proposal. Most of the team is already assembled, but Tech Team is listed as “TBD” at time of submission. The budget is broken down into 3 distinct sections: Research Phase, Findings Reportings, and Community Management which all show reasonably allocated funds to reach the goals of the proposal. There is no plan if funding is not adequate to reach set goals, but the budget seems realistically able to cover the proposed activity on the proposed timetable and also compensate team positions listed on the budget. Specific tools that will be used in the research such as interviews and standards for NGOs are not included in the proposal, but I would like to see what those look like. The proposal breaks down 3 risks that may be encountered in the research and ultimately the implementation of the DAO, and addresses each with a realistic method of addressing that risk. Rating feasibility at 4 stars.

The experience and still set of the team seem adequate to produce a proof of concept for their DAO structured NGO. If I've only given it a three rating it's because I'm not certain from the team bios or project description whether the analyst(s) will have the necessary qualifications to ilicit the type of information and understanding crucial to developing a successful NGO DAO, so if funded I would hope they would look to expand to flesh out the weak spots on the team with respect to contract development, dao operations and ngo onboarding.

The detailed plan and budget breakdown are not coherent. Milestones from the report are not mentioned in the budget and budget breakdown does not include funds towards milestones. This does not inspire confidence. Seems like the plan hasn't been well thought out. The team seems to have enough experience for what they explain in the impact section, but this is not reflected in the timeline.

Auditability
Does the proposal provides sufficient information to assess and audit progress and completion?
I would recommend proponents to work on the clarity of this proposal and resubmit. The focus must be on defining what the problem is, and a logical solution to the problem, and a related title. In my mind, a reasonable solution to the stated problem would be to create templates for trust registries or templates for reusable functionality for use by trust registries. Roadmap to our broader vision After the initial launch, we plan to release continuous updates of the platform where NGOs/vendors will be integrated to optimize monitoring. expenditures by NGOs. When I saw the title of the proposal, I thought it would provide a registry The success of this project meant that we answered all the research questions and performed a concluding trial with selected NGOs and donors.

The proposal's objectives are clearly stated, quantifiable, and based on the clear road map in front of us. The author mentions that the community can use the monthly reports and regular community meetings (perhaps over Discord) to monitor development. The metrics would play a significant role in ensuring that non-governmental organizations operate under the supervision and without corruption because they are in line with the requirements of the challenge. The team adds that achieving a clear grasp of how to include a DAO with NGOs and how to ensure that both are advantageous would be the ultimate triumph. However, I believe that the team could have done a better job of giving us actionable metrics to track their research progress, through some audio-video proofs rather than waiting for a UI to publish those, and that the author could have taken a much wider scenario into consideration when evaluating the findings while writing the success metrics rather than just the DAO-NGO integration aspect. Given that this is a brand-new project and that there is information missing in minuscule auditability areas, I would give this section a 4 out of 5.

A semi-detailed roadmap is provided for short term plan (through September 2022). Would like to see more specifics on the plan for September 2022. Broader vision is also addressed, showing that this is the first step in a much longer journey. Noted that the beta version of the website is already online and linked to the proposal. The team has listed 3 measurable and time-specified goals to achieve over 3 months and proposal also states that they will be using a KPI tracker aligned with the project plan. I would like to see the KPI tracker, or an example of it in the proposal. The determining criteria for project success is clear and shows how this research and gathering of information will contribute to solving the stated problem. The proposal states that progress reports will be shared with the Cardano community in monthly meetings. I would like to see where and how these meetings plan to be publicized in the proposal. Rated 3 stars for Auditability.

The project appears to the sufficiently auditable given it will a report. However the tean mentions "run[ning] a conclusive experiment with the selected NGOs and Donors" but it's nowhere else mentioned in the proposal so it's unclear what that would entail.

KPIs are given, but they seem to lack quantities and more details. The impact section suggested more steps that would need to be tracked. The success is well defined. Publication of results should be included, to comply with the goals of the challenge (building tools and platforms)
