What is an OPA Initiative?

OPA (Online Proposal Appraisal) is a full-featured, web-based, multi-lingual proposal appraisal system suitable for the end-to-end administration of any proposal request, submission, appraisal, selection and budgeting process, through to reporting, report review, approval, dissemination, and discussion. An activity that embodies similar processes qualifies as an OPA  initiative. Examples of initiatives are:

Project tendering processes

Screening of applicants (eg. Job Placement)
