This task is part of a call for proposals launched by UN-Habitat to fund water and sanitation operators. The proposals received are from across the world and may be written in English, French, Spanish. The online volunteer will need to transfer this information to an excel file (copy paste), and indicate where no information is provided or is incomplete. Some responses may be hand written however most can be copy-pasted. We estimate each volunteer will have 20 proposals and the time per proposal is 15 minutes.
