You can find information related to new loan approvals, partnership announcements or funding related initiatives in this database.

A donor releases a program report (blue) before the tendering process begins. The report sharesproject details like background, components, total budget and possible sectors of engagement.

Tenders, grants and open opportunities (orange) are then released under the umbrella of this program report, there may be a number of separate tenders released calling for proposals for particular segments of the project, or just one for the entire project.

Contract awards (green) include information on recently awarded projects. If you filter based on Contract Awards you can also access shortlist reports, this lists the organizations shortlisted for a particular project.

Click the above links if you need a more in-depth explanation about what each of these reports includes.

3. Refine your search by using keywords, filters for countries, funders and topics, or by using the advanced filters.

Tips:

By default the search results are sorted by publication date. But once keywords are used the sorting switches to relevance and shows results for the last month. To see more results change the Updated at filter to All time.

If you want to search for funding in a number of countries in the same region its better to include the region name (e.g. West Africa) rather than all the specific countries in the search box.

The advanced filters that are accessible depend on which reports you would like to search through. For example, if you would just like to search through Programs and Tenders & Grants, the filters include type, status, opportunity size, category and last updated. All other filters not related to those reports are greyed out and become accessible once you select the related report.

Use Boolean search terms to refine your search even further.

Note: please see this link to all the funding sources we currently track.

4. Skim through the results, and click on them to see the full text of the opportunity on the right. This allows you to assess the relevance of opportunities quicker and without having to leave the page.

Create, edit, activate and deactivate an alert

1. Create an alert by firstly running a search, and then clicking Create Alert at the top of the page. You then choose how often you would like to receive it, and name it.

2. Review your alerts, activate or deactivate them by clicking on the alerts button at the top of the list of search results. The blue icons on the right allow you to edit and delete alerts.

If you have a company rather than an individual membership, you can review your colleagues alerts by clicking on Shared alerts. You can even activate an alert based on the criteria they have set-up. Note: Its only possible to deactivate or delete your own alerts.

3. Update your alert by clicking on it on the list, making the necessary changes to the keywords or filters, and clicking update alert.

Manage alerts with the Team Dashboard

The Team Dashboard allows you to manage and share visibility of the funding opportunities across your team. By adding saved email alerts to a board you can better organize the opportunities of interest to your team.

1. Click on the menu icon and then on Team Dashboard

2. Click on Create new board and give it a name to set up a new Team Dashboard

3. Select the newly created board from the list to get to the Dashboard page

4. From there click on Add saved email alert and choose the saved email alert to add to the dashboard, you can choose from those you and your colleagues have created. Note: To create and edit email alerts go to the alerts section on the funding search.

5. Once you added an alert click on Share alert and select one of your colleagues that is also on the membership. You can leave a short message for them to let them know about the alert. After you click on Share alert an email notification with your message is sent to them and from then on they receive notifications for that alert via email.

6. Review your alert settings, add or remove recipients, or download the results of the alert directly from the dashboard.

Share or download reports

Share individual reports with your team by email or directly by link. They will be able to view it even if they don't have a Devex membership. We have designed this feature to help business development teams work more efficiently.

In addition to that you have the possibility to download your search results as CSV, XML or JSON file. Scroll down to the bottom of the search results and select the file type you would like to download. Note: only the first hundred search results are included in the report.

Track reports

Many users track reports so that they receive email notifications when there has been an update on a report, and so that they can manage the reports they are interested in.

All tracked reports are listed on your individual Funding Dashboard.Itcan be useful to see a list of those reports you have tracked as a reminder of those of interest. You can also see those tracked by your colleagues, aiming to help you collaborate better.

Contact an Analyst

The Devex team of analystsare experts on the current funding sectors. Theyre continuously monitoring donor websites and media sources to ensure the Devex content is as up to date and useful as possible. If you have a specific question about a particular funding opportunity, feel free to get in touch with them.

Here are some examples of the types of questions that theycan help you with:

Which program is this tender related to?

Have contract awards been already issued under the umbrella of the program?

There are no donor contact details on this report, could you help me find them?

Broader questions such as how do I apply for this funding? are usually answered within the tender document, and so its better to consult that than ask them this type of question.

Source timeline, donor contact and additional resources

The timeline information is a critical piece of knowledge regarding the project, it can be accessed on the body of the tender document. Should you have a question you would like to post to the donor about the project you can source the email address of the contact for this particular project underneath the timeline details. In addition to that all relevant resources are included directly on Devex under More Resources.

Setting up different business alerts

Members take different approaches to tracking funding, some are focused on one donor in specific locations, and others want to diversify funding sources or expand into new regions.

We recommend new members to set-up a number of different types of alerts and monitor the results over a number of weeks to assess which work the best.

Here are some links to particular searches which members have based their alerts on:

Use a combination of relevant keywords, filters and filtered by specific donors to track funding coming from particular donors, including tenders, grants, open opportunities, program reports, and funding activity feed entries in your business alert. Note: you can choose to include or exclude program reports and funding activity feed entries alongside tenders, grants and open opportunities by ticking the relevant boxes

Track funding of donors within regions they have experience in by using the region filter, perhaps you want to discover new funding sources to that region.

Diversify funding sources and expand into new regions by using a set of keywords and filters, while leaving the donor and location filter blank unless there is a particular region of interest.

Managing searches with too many results or irrelevant results

Firstly, it's worth keeping in mind that the evolution of the international development sector has resulted in more funding being directed to multi-sectoral projects than ever before. This has meant that sometimes it's more challenging to get search results that are 100% accurate to your interests. But with a bit of tweaking you can make it work well for you, here are some tips to help you along the way:

1. Avoid long strings of general keywords

For example if you are interested in funding opportunities related to education around gender equality, and also health related to youth or children you may type in education gender equality youth health systems young people and leave the funder and location filter open. It's likely you will return many irrelevant opportunities that include these words, as they are common to many different types of funding opportunities.

We recommend people search and then set-up separate business alerts on each particular topic so that they can review the results and refine them based on each topic. So for example if you are interested in these topics, you could run two separate searches:

education AND "gender equality" - note the use of quotation marks to avoid the words equality and gender being searched for separately

health AND (youth child*) - note 1. the space between youth and child means it's searching for either youth or child. 2. Parenthesis are necessary to define it as a statement. 3. The * means it will search for all words with this root (children, child).

This gives you a list of Boolean search term combinations that can help.

2. Exclude certain terms from your search results using AND NOT

For example if opportunities related to construction continue to appear within your results exclude all of these by typing AND NOT construction, i.e. health AND NOT construction. Also it's always worth considering the category filter which allows you select opportunities concerning services versus works or goods.

3. Think like a funder

Use the terms that funders use to describe the topic you're interested in and test them by watching how the number of results changes as you add or remove keywords.

4. Start with your existing experience, visualize your results to identify other related opportunities.

If you are part of a smaller organization that has worked in one particular region, or with one donor before, it's worth starting by basing your search on this experience. Given that you may have a strong network there, know the funder and how projects work in this space you will have a better chance of expanding there to start with.

So if you input relevant keyword(s) and then specify this region, or funder, to then visualize the results you can see the other funders that have worked on that topic in the region, or if you have selected the funder you will see the other regions they have disbursed funding for similar projects.

See search below based on the idea that you are open to new funding opportunities across the world but you have experience working with partner organizations that have experience in West Africa.

Likewise, if you have experience working with a particular funder on a topic you can quickly see the top ten regions they are directing their funding to this way. This then allows you to focus your search and/or business alert on these areas or funders, while you can always create another search based on all regions and funders. When creating the business alert you may choose to receive it once a week rather than daily so that you're not overwhelmed with too many results each day.

Devex World will be a unique event for several reasons.

Devex is organizing a global event for 500+ people that happens to take place in Washington. We will be convening the private sector, foundations, donors and development implementers from around the world for a one day event looking at the future of global development.

Rather than segment our audience by sector, we will have a multifaceted dialogue bringing representatives from various sectors together to discuss the following themes: innovating at scale, data, revolution, new funding models, business transforming development and from storytelling to movement building.

Devex World will be a dynamic event and not a series of panel presentations. The day will consist of several workshops, TED-style talks, rapid interviews, an innovation zone and other interactive sessions to not only hear from our presenters but also engage our community of experts attending the event.

We alsodon'twant Devex World to be a great one-day event, we want it to be a moment in time that is part of an ongoing dialogue with editorial coverage before, during and after Devex World to continue the conversation on advancing economic development globally.

Important notes:

The Personal Information and Professional Summarysections should always be filled out completely. You might encounter data errors, if you leave these sections blank.

Do not manually fill out the Start date and End date fields. Just click on the blank space, and use the pop-up calendar instead. Otherwise, all the information you enter will not be saved. And make sure to fill out all required fields in order to save your entry or any changes you make.

For the Education sections, if you want your entry to be reflected as the current/present one, the End Date field should not be filled out.

To do so, just click on the Start datefield, select your month and year from the pop-up calendar, and then leave the End date field untouched.

The only file types that can be uploaded to your Devex profile are the following: DOC, RTF, PDF, TXT, PPT, XLS. The maximum file size of each upload is 3MB. Not sure what your document's file type is? You may check .

Make sure that you've successfully uploaded your CV!

CVs that are not uploaded properly will cause an error in job applications. To check whether your CV has been properly uploaded, you must be able to download your CV directly from your Devex profile.

To do so, just log in to your Devex account as usual, click on Update my profile on the user menu, click on the Done Editing button, scroll down to the CV Download section of your profile, and click on the Download button. You should be able to download your CV right away, otherwise, delete the currently uploaded CV, and then re-upload your CV. Don't forget to click on the Save button afterwards.

All registered participants will receive a link to the recorded version of the webinar via email once it has been uploaded - usually within a few days of the live event. Therefore if you are interested in an upcoming webinar, it is best to register even if you won't be able to watch it live.

Our mission at Devex is to help development professionals like you do more good for more people. One of the ways we work to achieve that mission is through a job board and platform designed to connect talented candidates with great organizations who are working to advance the development mission.

As with any job board, there are a few key rules to remember to ensure your job search leads you to the right opportunities:

Always research the organisation you are about to apply for - particularly if someone reaches out to you from a company you have never heard of.

Pay attention to detail - unprofessional emails (often this can be indicated by spelling and grammatical mistakes or lack of punctuation for example) and emails sent from individuals who do not have a company domain are a strong indicator that something is not right.

Be sceptical of individuals contacting you about jobs that have nothing to do with your experience.

Be wary of online interviews via chat/instant messenger.

Do not reveal any personal sensitive information as part of a recruitment process (e.g. passport number, bank details, social security number etc.)

Never accept to make a payment or transfer money as part of the recruitment process or training.

If you ever have concerns about a job offer, job posting or recruitment communication you receive on our platform - no matter how minor - please let us know right away. We'll do our best to address the situation as quickly as possible.You can contact us here.

Posting is free and will be added to our Funding page.

Your subscription information can be found on your personal billing page, which is only available if you signed up online for an individual subscription. If your membership is related to an organization and you would like to learn more about your current subscription please get in contact with us here.

To access your billing page, click on the My Billing link from the drop-down list of the user menu:

On the next page you'll find your membership level, your billing frequency, and your renewal date.

At the bottom of the page you can also view and download your sales receipts.

1. Access the funding search by clicking on Funding on the top navigation bar.

link

2. Search through the different reports by looking at all of them or by selecting only specific ones. You can differentiate the reports in the list of results by the colored line on the left of each opportunity title.

What are the differences between the reports?

The funding activity report database (purple) contains information throughout the funding cycle such as press releases at the very early stage, media coverage, donor country strategies, operational updates and direct insights from our team based on outreach to major donors, foundations, private sector entities, media, and philanthropies. You can find information related to new loan approvals, partnership announcements or funding related initiatives in this database.

A donor releases aprogram report (blue) before the tendering process begins. The report sharesproject details like background, components, total budget and possible sectors of engagement.

Tenders, grants and open opportunities(orange) are then released under the umbrella of this program report, there may be a number of separate tenders released calling for proposals for particular segments of the project, or just one for the entire project.

Contract awards (green) include information on recently awarded projects. If you filter based on Contract Awards you can also access shortlist reports, this lists the organizations shortlisted for a particular project.

3. Refine your search by using keywords, filters for countries, funders and topics, or by using the advanced filters.

Tips:

By default the search results are sorted by publication date. But once keywords are used the sorting switches to relevance and shows results for the last month. To see more results change the 'updated at' filter to All time.

If you want to search for funding in a number of countries in the same region its better to include the region name (e.g. West Africa) rather than all the specific countries in the search box.

The advanced filters that are accessible depend on which reports you would like to search through. For example, if you would just like to search through Programs and Tenders & Grants, the filters include type, status, opportunity size, category and last updated. All other filters not related to those reports are greyed out and become accessible once you select the related report.

Use Boolean search terms to refine your search even further.

Note: please see this to all the funding sources we currently track.

4. Skim through the results, and click on them to see the full text of the opportunity on the right. This allows you to assess the relevance of opportunities quicker and without having to leave the page.

Firstly, it's worth keeping in mind that the evolution of the international development sector has resulted in more funding being directed to multi-sectoral projects than ever before. This has meant that sometimes it's more challenging to get business alert results that are 100% accurate to your interests. But with a bit of tweaking you can make them work well for you.

Here are some tips to help you along the way:

1. Avoid long strings of general keywords

For example if you are interested in funding opportunities related to education around gender equality, and also health related to youth or children you may type in education gender equality youth health systems young people and leave the funder and location filter open. It's likely you will receive many irrelevant opportunities that include these words, as they are common for many different types of funding opportunities.

What we recommend to people is to set-up separate business alerts on each particular topic so that they can review the results and refine them. So for example if you are interested in these topics, you could set-up two different alerts:

education AND "gender equality" - note the use of quotation marks to avoid the words equality and gender being searched for separately

health AND (youth child*) - note 1. the space between youth and child means it's searching for either youth or child. 2. Parenthesis are necessary to define it as a statement. 3. The * means it will search for all words with this root (children, child).

This article gives you a list of Boolean search term combinations that can help.

2. Exclude certain terms from your search results using AND NOT

For example if opportunities related to construction continue to appear within your results exclude all of these by typing AND NOT construction, i.e. health AND NOT construction.

3. Think like a funder

Use the terms that funders use to describe the topic you're interested in and test them by watching how the number of results changes as you add or remove keywords.

4. Start with your existing experience, visualize your results to identify other related opportunities.

If you are part of a smaller organization that has worked in one particular region, or with one donor before, it's worth starting by basing your search/business alert on this experience. Given that you may have a strong network there, know the funder and how projects work in this space you will have a better chance of expanding there to start with.

So if you input relevant keyword(s) and then specify this region, or funder, to then visualize the results you can see the other funders that have worked on that topic in the region, or if you have selected the funder you will see the other regions they have disbursed funding for similar projects.

See search below based on the idea that you are open to new funding opportunities across the world but you have experience working with partner organizations that have experience in West Africa.

Likewise, if you have experience working with a particular funder on a topic, you can quickly see the top ten regions they are directing their funding to this way. This then allows you to focus your business alert on these areas or funders, whilst also being able to create another business alert based on all regions and funders.

You can also choose to receive the alert once a week rather than daily so that you're not overwhelmed with too many results each day.

Members can use business alerts to receive content like funding opportunities and funding news of relevance directly to their inbox each day or week.

Members take different approaches to tracking funding, some are focused on one donor in specific locations, and others want to diversify funding sources or expand into new regions.

We recommend new members to set-up a number of different types of alerts and monitor the results over a number of weeks to assess which work the best.

Here are some links to particular searches which members have based their alerts on:

Use a combination of relevant keywords, filters and filtered by specific donors to track funding coming from particular donors, including tenders, grants, open opportunities, program reports, and funding activity feed entries in your business alert. Note: you can choose to include or exclude program reports and funding activity feed entries alongside tenders, grants and open opportunities by ticking the relevant boxes

Diversify funding sources and expand into new regions by using a set of keywords and filters, while leaving the donor and location filter blank unless there is a particular region of interest

Track funding of donors within regions they have experience in by using the region filter, perhaps you want to discover new funding sources to that region.

Members can use business alerts to receive content like funding opportunities and funding news of relevance directly to their inbox each day or week. The goal of the Devex business development resources is to improve the efficiency of those that work in international development, setting up effective business alerts is key to achieving this.

1. Create an alert by firstly running a search, and then clicking Create Alert at the top of the page to save your search criteria. You then choose how often you would like to receive it, and name it.

2. Review your alerts, activate or deactivate them by clicking on the alerts button at the top of the list of search results. The blue icons on the right allow you edit and delete alerts.

Notes:

If you have a company rather than an individual membership, you can review your colleagues alerts by clicking on Shared alerts. You can even activate an alert based on the criteria they have set-up.

Its only possible to deactivate or delete your own alerts.

3. Update your alert by clicking on the blue icon beside "activate" or "deactivate" on the list, then making the necessary changes to the keywords or filters, and clicking Update alert.

The timeline information is a critical piece of knowledge regarding the project, it can be accessed on the body of the tender document. If you have a question you would like to post to the donor about the project, you can source the email address of the contact for this particular project underneath the timeline details. In addition to that all relevant resources are included directly on Devex under 'More Resources'.

Many users track reports so that they receive email notifications when there has been an update on a report, and so that they can manage the reports they are interested in.

Funding Dashboard

All tracked reports are listed on your individual .Itcan be useful to see a list of those reports you have tracked as a reminder of those of interest. You can also see those tracked by your colleagues, aiming to help you collaborate better.

With your Business Intelligence Account membership, you can reach our analysts 24/5 with questions about specific opportunities, as well as more broadly funding trends.

The Devex team of analystsare experts on the current funding sectors. Theyre continuously monitoring donor websites and media sources to ensure the Devex content is as up to date and useful as possible. If you have a specific question about a particular funding opportunity, feel free to get in touch with them.

Here are some examples of the types of questions that theycan help you with:

Which program is this tender related to?

Have contract awards been already issued under the umbrella of the program?

There are no donor contact details on this report, could you help me find them?

Broader questions such as how do I apply for this funding? are usually answered within the tender document, and so its better to consult that than ask them this type of question.

Recruiters can specify whether applicants have to complete their application on the Devex website or get redirected to the organization's internal recruitment system to complete their application.
