Local heritage association
Cultural heritage rapid window
Context
Tight deadline UNDP small grants call.
Problem
Incomplete risk matrix for community events and weak stakeholder map.
What we did
48-hour sprint: stakeholder map, risk table, simplified budget, and event protocols co-signed by municipality.
Result
$14,500 awarded; delivery completed on schedule.
Lessons learned
- Rapid windows still need defensible risk tables — use templates then localize.
- Municipal co-signature signals legitimacy for heritage activities.
Client voice
“We made the deadline without sounding rushed.”
