- Draft, reviewing, and refining proposals in collaboration with the WWB Colombia Foundation and other partners
- Develop and review detailed project budgets, ensuring alignment with donor templates and internal financial guidelines
- Support project monitoring, including timelines, milestones, risks, and results
- Contribute to technical and financial reports in line with donor reporting requirements
