Granting

Monday, 21 November 2011 04:26

Over the last 6 years, IRCU has accumulated experience in managing grants. It has instituted systems that guarantee efficiency in grants movement from the secretariat to FBOs for service delivery. The systems also ensure that reporting, accountability and compliance with grants extended are prudently adhered to.

As a plat form, IRCU secretariat mobilizes and secures funds for various interventions. IRCU then issues Request for Applications (RFA) through IRB and newspapers, soliciting for proposals from FBOs to be funded. Applicants route their applications through IRB except for independent faith based organizations that do not have affiliations to IRCU member organization such as independent Pentecostal churches.

IRCU will constitute panels of experts to under take the proposal review exercise. Prominent service providers including government line ministries that IRCU partners are part of these panels.

This process involving identification, proposal solicitations, review, selection and grant award is led by respective IRB with technical support from IRCU secretariat. Approval of grants is made by the Executive Board. Where applicable, the Board shares recommendations with the donor including funding levels to give final approving authority.
