This collection will gather application information directly from grant seekers including details about the applicant's organization, the development opportunity, and proposed project activities. Using this information, IAF is able to perform an initial assessment of the proposed project and determine which applicants are qualified as well as which projects are best positioned to advance grassroots development in the region.

Abstract:
The IAF works to promote sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean by directly supporting civil society organizations through funding actions, such as grants and cooperative agreements. In order to track grant progress toward desired results and ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the agreement, the IAF seeks to establish a requirement that grantees provide programmatic and financial information every six months during the grant period, including reporting on project indicators, narrative data on grant achievements and challenges, and a record of spent funds. This information is necessary as it allows IAF to ensure that the grantee is using project funds responsibly and making the necessary strides toward achieving the results laid out in the grant agreement.
