>> Things need to be improved in your side. You should also understand diversities among African Countries which may lead each member to experience a unique challenge. Even after your testing results I was not able to submit the same and it was further communicated to your good office.
>> 
>> Immediate attention couls have helped to solve the challenge reported. To the best of my understanding, web application administrator may experience a quiet different experience from web application end-users. Your testing is not a proof that everythings is working fine. There are a number of ogher issues may affect the same, platform, speed of connection, etc all of these requires extensive testing to achieve that confindence level.

>> When you reported your issue about submitting your application to our online platform on Thursday, May 23rd, 2019 we promptly ran a test as we always do before opening a call for proposal submissions and the test was successful.
>> 
>> The outcome of this test was communicated to you also on Thursday, May 23rd  so you could investigate any probable technical problem at your own end.
>> 
>> Furthermore, during the duration of the call for proposals (26th April to 31st May 2019), we received a total of  239 applications submitted before and after the time you made your complaint.   We also did not get any complaints similar to yours other than standard enquires about FIRE Award & Grants.
>> 
>> We understand your frustration for not having been able to participate in the FIRE Awards 2019, and we sincerely apologise. We hope you will not be discouraged by this experience and you will continue to express unwavering interest in our FIRE Africa initiative.
