Priority area questions are divided into four topics:
Idea, Goal, Theme, Actions and Performance Indicators, Project Budget, Concept Note.
Choose a topic of interest and try answering questions. When you select the answer, you will see relevant information related to the question.
Answer all the questions in the topic - you will get a subject knowledge evaluation. Scores:
