Grants Management. Successful applicants must also comply with the following standard grants management reporting requirements at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/grants/grants- management/reporting-requirements, unless otherwise noted in the NOFO or NoA.
Grants Management. 1. In the event that the Funding Source and UNOPS agree to incorporate grant support as a funding modality under this Agreement, this shall be undertaken in accordance with the relevant UNOPS organizational directives and administrative instructions.
Grants Management. Review of all submittals of state plans / grant applications; provision of all certifications, disclosures, and assurances; compliance issues; monitoring and review of federal regulations; and technical assistance.
Grants Management. The Grants Manual and its forms and procedures have been in development by both the Virginia Tech PMU and the Management Entity (ME) in Blacksburg, VA. Once the appropriate mechanisms are in place both at the home office and in the field, USAID/ERA will be in a position to award grants. Participant Training USAID/ERA plans to engage a consultant to develop a mechanism to identify candidates and launch them on appropriate courses of study in institutions either within Senegal, within Africa or in the United States. The program needs to develop criteria for selection; it needs to develop sources of training for specific individuals which correspond to the needs of their respective institutions; it needs to develop a procedure for facilitating these opportunities within the procedural and financial scope of USAID/ERA. Monitoring and Evaluation USAID/ERA is in process of developing its Performance Monitoring Plan for submission to USAID/Senegal. The program expects the plan to be approved in the next quarter. USAID/ERA will also enter into additional discussions with the AOTR to ensure appropriate means are in place to assure the competent and timely collection, storage, display and analysis of performance data for reporting and validation of its activities. Distance Learning and Innovation Center In the following quarter USAID/ERA fully expects to have in place a plan and strategy for the advancement of distance learning within the program. The program will comprise several components: 1) instruction of English language, 2) instruction of technically based subjects which will complement emerging restructuring of existing curricula in AET Institutions, 3) pedagogical content, 4) access to library resources, 4) intra-institutional communication modalities such as Google Aps, etc. USAID/ERA is also expecting to develop a center of innovation for distance learning in the next Quarter. Public Private Partnerships At the end of the fourth Quarter, USAID/ERA expects to have in place a plan to develop and identify appropriate candidates who will be able to serve as partners with targeted AET Institutions. The ME in Blacksburg has identified a potential candidate, but this needs to be pursued and accomplished within the context of a plan specifically designed for the purpose of developing enduring relationships with individual or groups of Agricultural Education and Training Institutions. Annexes
Grants Management. The USAID Agribusiness Project will generate a Grants Management Plan, as detailed in Management Plan of application, and a Grants Manual with detailed procedures, reporting requirements and review and authorization procedures, for appraisal and management of grants. The Grants Manual will be submitted to USAID within three (3) months from singing of the cooperative agreement. Grants will be tracked separately, from original application or request for applications, through to disbursement. During the first 90 days of the program, the Project through the sub-contractor (CNFA) will commission software development that will automate the grants program, make it web-accessible, and enable integration with accounting and M&E systems including option through which USAID can exercise “Substantial Involvement” by reviewing and approving (wherever appropriate)—or sending back for additional information— the grants proposed by the Project. Tracking will continue through disbursement and will enable capture of all the data required for compilation of financial and monitoring reports associated with each grant. Grant, monitoring and accounting software will be developed, pilot tested and adopted within 8 months from signing of the cooperative agreement.
