PWWSD Sub-grant Manual

This manual has been developed by the Palestinian Working Women for Development (PWWSD) to establish the general guidelines, process requirements, and eligibility standards, as well as the approval structures and procedures pertaining to sub-granting. The manual provides information relevant to the formulation of sub-grant projects and associated requirements; the wording of competition announcements and calls for sub-grant applications or proposals; criteria for the review of accepted submissions; risk assessment and selection of sub-grantees; as well as the subsequent monitoring and oversight responsibilities of PWWSD to ensure that the performance of sub-grantees meets the terms of the agreement, adheres to PNGO’s Code of Conduct, donor expectations and conditionalities, and contributes to the specific requirements and objectives a grant program award aims to achieve.

PWWSD staff shall be required to follow the guidelines of this manual when sub-granting is involved in any of the projects or programs they manage. The manual is presented in dedicated sections and sub-sections that appear under corresponding headings. Adherence to the policy and procedures established in this manual may not necessarily cover other specific sub-granting requirements set forth by a donor or funding agency, which may differ from one donor to another. At the essence of the requirements stipulated in the current manual lies the institutional responsibility of the PWWSD to ensure the implementation of the goals and objectives of respective grant programs and full compliance with the additional provisions established in the agreement with the donor.
