Abstract:
Introduction: This manual is a reference document for the RCU and grantees of the Rsif Research and Innovation Grants on the requirements and implementation of the grants. The manual largely draws from the provisions of the Rsif Project Appraisal Document that governs the contractual relationship between icipe and the World Bank as well as the icipe institutional financial and grant management policies and procedures.
The Manual covers all aspects and procedures involved in the implementation and management of the competitive grants scheme of the Rsif project including but not limited to the award process, financial management, reporting and overall grants’ project monitoring.
The Manual is a living document that may be updated from time to time as needed.
