Funding Windows. 5.1 Fund Donors may designate use of the funds they contribute to the CGIAR Fund in three ways:
(i) Window 1 – These funds may be allocated by the Fund Council, (x) in consultation with the Consortium, to (a) CRPs submitted by the Consortium and approved by the Fund Council on any aspect of SRF implementation, and (b) anything else within the scope of SRF implementation that the Fund Council approves to fulfill its responsibilities as set forth in Section 7 below; and (y)
Funding Windows. 1.1 Fund Donors may designate use of the funds they contribute to the CGIAR Fund in three ways:
(i) Window 1 – These funds may be allocated by the Fund Council, (x) in consultation with the Consortium, to (a) CRPs submitted by the Consortium and approved by the Fund Council on any aspect of SRF implementation, and (b) anything else within the scope of SRF implementation that the Fund Council approves to fulfill its responsibilities as set forth in Section 7 of the Governance Framework (Fund Council Roles and Responsibilities); and (y) to System Costs. All System Costs are paid out of Window 1 in their entirety based on a principle of equitable cost sharing under which Window 1 will be reimbursed proportionally by the CSP taken from all other (non-Window 1) funds contributed to the CGIAR Fund and Bilateral Funds. In addition, the following are deposited into Window 1: (a) any refunds from recipients, including the Trustee and Fund Office, regardless of the Window from which the funds were originally received, (b) any investment income generated by funds held in the CGIAR Fund, (c) the CSP amounts from Windows 2 and 3 and the Provisional Account, and (d) the Bilateral Portion of System Costs.
(ii) Window 2 – These funds are directed by Fund Donors to specific CRPs proposed by the Consortium and approved by the Fund Council as eligible to receive Window 2 subaccount funding. For each such CRP, funds received into Window 2 are limited to the total budget amount approved by the Fund Council for that CRP. Funds received for such a CRP in excess of the total approved budget amount are deposited into Window 1, as determined on a pro rata basis for each contributing Fund Donor. Window 2 funds may be released by the Fund Council only in response to proposals submitted by the Consortium. All Window 2 contributions are, at the time of contribution, adjusted by the CSP to equitably defray the System Costs, with the CSP amount deposited by the Trustee into Window 1.
(iii) Window 3 – These funds are directed by Fund Donors to individual Centers. Fund Donors may designate specific amounts to specific Centers for use at the Center’s discretion; provided such funds are used to implement aspects of the SRF and provided further that such funds are used in accordance with the Common Operational Framework. Such designations are not subject to review, allocation or approval by the Consortium or Fund Council, although it is expected that their intended or actual use will be repor...
