- Constructive Criticism: Encourage participants to provide constructive feedback on areas such as clarity, feasibility, and the overall structure of the proposal.
- Feedback Integration: Participants should revise their proposals and presentations based on peer feedback, improving both content and adherence to guidelines.
4. Quality Assurance from SayPro Support Team

If any discrepancies are found (e.g., missing sections, incorrect formatting), participants will be promptly notified and given a chance to make necessary revisions before final submission.
