On this page, you will see a variety of tools, which can be replicated locally. We wanted to make available a variety of templates that might help you manage your AFI Network Projects.  These templates were drafted from existing contracts, memorandum of understanding and request for proposal documents from the field. It is important that you adapt these sample documents to fit your local needs. You may need to consult your contract staff, attorneys, advisory or policy making board for guidance and assistance.

By definition, AFI Network Projects involve more than a single site.  The more sub-recipients there are and the more diverse the additional partnerships become, there exists more opportunities for conflict and challenges with communication. A Sample Conflict Management Policy and Process as well as a Sample Communications Policy is enclosed. It is important to lay out a plan for how to deal with conflict before it emerges.  And, because AFI Grantees and Sub-Recipient Grantees have internal and external communication needs, there is a greater chance for conflict to occur when a communications plan has not been first negotiated.

It is our hope that you will find useful references on the bibliography page, especially literature about collaborations, and that some of the templates will be useful to you.
