Since they're so popular already, why not make a reality show out of it?
Contestants pitch their 'ideas' and 'projects' to a panel of judges, a-la aid-funding proposals. They're asked about assessment (the first round), implementation, sustainability, scalability, you-got-it. They have to prove their ability to implement the ideas through demonstration of their resourcefulness, social-consciousness, the way they handle risk and uncertain events, and accountability. The winner's project is funded.
Buuuut. That's just the beginning. The implementation of the project is filmed too, and winners from several seasons are judged on how well they implemented their projects and so on (assessment too!), and the winner gets the finale prize.
Everything should be outsourced to a reality show, including the WFP model. All the ideas that'll be up will be better than the actual model.
Something like this already exists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons'_Den_(UK) . Saw this on British TV in 2007/2008 while visiting friends for New Years in Scotland (dropping names :) )
