Can the grant be given for a project that is already an ongoing project and will continue growing? During the application process, jobs would have already been created; can they be considered as a scale-up as part of the grant?

Funding may be requested to scale up existing activities (leading to an acceleration of results in jobs). However, we would look critically at the additionality of our grant; in other words, to what extent this scaling up would have taken place without the CFYE grant and how the grant improved the outcomes. The CFYE baseline starts when CFYE funded activities start, so only jobs created after the grant has been awarded would count.
