What are ‘business and/or administrative Needs’?

In the context of the EN Grant Program, this phrase indicates statements that define organizational requirement(s) that must be met in order to get an organization from where they currently are to where that organization would like to be. This could be improvements to or the implementation of programmatic workflows, improved management and policy decisions, improved public data access and/or usability, the implementation of strategic business processes, improvements to process and staff efficiencies, etc. When applicants are asked to identify business and administrative needs, they are essentially being asked ‘what are some weaknesses, dependencies, or risks of the organization that will be partially or fully addressed through the proposed EN project’.
