Fund Reports

Explanatory note on reporting and on accessibility of data

G-rap Fund Narrative Reporting
Reporting by beneficiaries of the G-RAP Fund is done on a bi-annual basis using standard formats. The formats have been designed in line with the logical framework, generating a wealth of relevant data not only for monitoring but also for research. Programme Management makes bi-annual compilations of the reports, thus providing a quick overview of output relating to specific themes or issues in the Ghana policy and governance environment.

Additional surveys and more in-depth analyses are done by specialists of various disciplines, e.g. on networks and coalitions around specific GPRS themes; a baseline was established in 2005 at the start of the Programme. For reports by external consultants, please click this link.

Narrative report compilations are disseminated in print to all stakeholders to G-RAP and available for downloading here below.

G-rap Fund Financial reporting
Grantees submit bi-annual financial reports using a standard format. As G-rap provides core support (as opposed to project support), Grantees need to report on the total income of the organisation. Compilations of financial report findings and recommendations are prepared bi-annually and submitted by Programme Management to the donor group supporting G-rap.

Findings and recommendations are used to monitor compliance with agreed standards and benchmarks, obviously, but also for identifying a potential need for additional coaching inputs, which is sometimes necessary in order to come from a "project grant" to a "core grant" type of financial management systems and reporting.

In order not to derange processes of financial/administrative coaching of beneficiaries by G-rap management, access to the financial reports is restricted. We do, however, adhere to the principle of transparency and motivated requests for access to financial reporting information will be taken into consideration.

Audit of the Fund account is done at an annual basis.
