    2. Technical and financial assessment (includes a score-based evaluation)
    3. Selection of projects (shortlisting of projects and pre-contracting communication)    

    The overall evaluation process would typically take 4-6 months (from application deadline) subject to the Fund Operator’s own timeline and resources.
