What the funder asks grantees to report

Reporting

Grantees monitor their own projects and submit mid-term or progress reports and final reports; the national secretariat also checks progress against indicators through site visits.

The SGP National Secretariat will monitor grantees' progress towards meeting the indicators through site visits, mid-term/progress and final reports and update the country database.
