Acceptable Conditions on Inward Grants.
3.6.1; for grants, seek guidance from a Contracting Officer (CO) in M/OAA with respect to such project. • Membership by the Bilateral Donor on project implementation committees. This is acceptable as long as the project implementation committee is only advisory to the USAID project officer and USAID CO (or Agreement Officer), as applicable, so that the committee does not have authority to require USAID to take any particular actions regarding the project, contract, or grant. • Co-branding. See ADS 320.3.4.1b for co-branding requirements. • Copies of key financial reports and audits. These are normally provided by USAID, to the extent that they do not contain proprietary material of implementing organizations, source selection information for future procurements, classified information, or information protected by the Privacy Act, which must be redacted. • Management information. Information demonstrating the adequacy of USAID’s management, financial, and procurement systems that will govern USAID’s implementation of the joint program or project. While Bilateral Donors do not often request this information, USAID officials should be prepared to provide citations to ADS Chapters, FAR/AIDAR, etc., and to respond to other similar reasonable requests to demonstrate that USAID’s systems are adequate to manage funds donated by Bilateral Donors. Effective Date: 07/31/2012 GC or the cognizant RLO must clear any proposed outward or inward grant to determine applicable authority under the FAA, appropriateness of the type of grant selected, the provisions of the grant agreement, and other supporting documentation, before the Operating Unit submits such grant documentation to the relevant senior Mission or B/IO official for approval and execution.
