Q: Can MFiling prepare DPRs for sectors we are not experienced in?
MFiling prepares DPRs across all development sectors — health, education, rural livelihoods, women empowerment, environment, skill development, and urban poverty. Our team includes specialists with sector-specific technical knowledge and familiarity with relevant government scheme guidelines.

Q: Does the DPR guarantee grant approval?
A professionally prepared DPR significantly increases the probability of approval but cannot guarantee it — funding decisions also depend on budget availability, policy priorities, and funder preferences. MFiling's DPRs are consistently shortlisted in competitive grant processes due to their technical depth and evidence base.
