Contractors provide
services to active grantees, if you are interested in applying for an
IAF grant please refer to the IAF
GUIDELINES FOR GRANT PROPOSALS and send a summary of your project
to proposals@iaf.gov.
The Foundation
Representative (FR) is a full-time IAF employee assigned responsibility
for a specific country or countries. The FR sets the direction for the
program in that area; analyzes relevant proposals; visits projects under
consideration for funding; presents those feasible to the review committee
for its decision; and works with the applicant to finalize technical
details in the proposal and the grant agreement. As the grantee's primary
IAF contact, the FR oversees the disbursement process and monitors progress
via annual site visits. To contact a Foundation Representative, click

Local
Liaison and Advisory Services (LLAS) contractors offer support
to IAF grantees in most countries where IAF funds projects. Local liaisons
also share information on IAF programs and advise organizations on how
to apply for grants. They facilitate communication between IAF grantees
and Foundation Representatives (FRs) and guide IAF grantees as to IAF
procedures and requirements. At IAF's direction, local liaisons assist
grantees with training and technical assistance needs. E-mail: info@iaf.gov.
Data
Verifiers (DV) are independent contractors who work with the
IAF's Office for Evaluation to ensure the accuracy of results indicator
data collected by grantees for IAF's Grassroots Development Framework
(GDF) database. The data verifiers visit grantees twice a year to confirm
information recorded for use in tracking project results. They also
provide advice to grantees on data collection methods. Questions on
the GDF can be directed via e-mail: info@iaf.gov.
Auditors
are contracted in-country to visit grantees on site and conduct financial
audits, generally six and 18 months after project initiation and once after
completion. They respond to inquiries on financial record keeping, audit
procedures and recommendations. Questions can be directed to IAF auditors
via e-mail: info@iaf.gov.
