Application process
Application to the SLM Hill Country Erosion Fund is a two stage process.
Stage 1 is to determine the eligibility of proposals when evaluated against the eligibility criteria. Those applicants that meet the criteria and provide a strong case for further consideration will be asked to submit a Stage 2 application.
Evaluation of Stage 2 applications will focus on the definition of the problem; how the programme will be implemented; consideration of alternatives; the level of support and how the proposal relates to local and central government policies and rules.
