GENERAL RULES
Opportunity posting
All opportunities should be written in English, using correct
spelling, grammar and punctuation.
All opportunities must have a start and end date that matches
the actual real start and end date of the project.
Never open an opportunity if the opportunity does not have a
contract signed with an organisation/ partner. This must always
happen before receiving applications.
Never duplicate opportunities on the system. The number of
opportunities should reflect the real number of opportunities
available. With the new algorithm duplicating opportunities will
not increase the chances of your opportunity to be seen by
customers.

THE OPPORTUNITY TITLE
The title of the opportunity is the first thing that the customer sees, it
should be inviting, clear and concise
State the name of the project with or without adding “Project” at the end (Example: Bienestar; GirlBoss Project; Footprints Project)
Never use elements of punctuation such as “[xyz]” in your opportunity titles.
Never add information such as length or salary in the opportunity title, they are already detailed in the opportunity description.
Never add things such as “pre-matched”, “don't apply” in the title of the opportunity, this information should be communicated internally and not displayed in a way that confuses the customer.

THE OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION

lines, giving enough detail but not overwhelming the customer. The

Academy
THE OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION
DON’Ts
The description is not detailed, is short and gives very little information. The activities are not all actual activities. The applicant will be confused by the line saying “Fees $150” (think of it from the customer’s perspective, there is no context to what that means). Remember applying to a project is a considerable commitment, which needs the correct and detailed information to be made.

Opening a Global Project follows the same process as opening any other opportunity, the only difference is that you must use a template when editing the details of the project.
You can also check this video tutorial.
After you filled the necessary information, go to edit.

Academy
After choosing an SDG you must choose a target, choose the one that shows *(Global project available)* to use the Global project template.

How to fill this?
Example: If you have a Project that will deliver 10 trainings by 2 EPs, then each EP is going to deliver 5. On the blanket spot you should always put the EPs contribution, not the general one.
