From a clear plan to a dated report.
The reporting framework we are preparing is designed to distinguish proposed activities from work that has been delivered. Each project page should make these four stages easy to follow.
Define the need
Location, partner, intended recipients, project status and activity dates.
Explain the costs
An itemized budget showing the intended use of funds and relevant expenses.
Record progress
Dated updates separating planned work, funds received and completed activities.
Show the evidence
A closing report with recorded spending, supported results and any remaining needs.
