Every local partner that you select to join you in a proposal submission or project implementation should be properly screened before signing a partnership agreement.  This is not an audit but rather, an assessment of the partner's capacity to work with you and add value to the process.
 
This score-card provides a quick and easy check-list to asertain minimum requirements.  Identify core areas that are pre-requisites for partnering - or drill deeper into the 'quality' of those pre-requisites.  A minimum total score should be determined by your organization before running the partner fitness score-card.  Use the pre-made dashboard to view those results in a comparative chart and decide if this is the right partner for your next grant opportunity!
