Type of Support & Implementation Process
The following areas are considered when determining support to be offered to each Member Association as part of the Membership Grant Programme:
- Areas of development highlighted through the BWF Categorisation Tool
- Priorities highlighted by MAs through the BWF Membership Questionnaire
- Areas of development highlighted by the Continental Confederations
Based on the above areas, the BWF, in collaboration with its Continental Confederations, offer a package of specific support to each Member Association.
