The financial aspects of project cooperation are part of MISEREOR's comprehensive concept of project support.
We at Projects Accounts, Asia Department are in charge of post-approval financial project cooperation with our partners in Asia. It is our responsibility to help ensure, together with these partners, a smooth implementation and financial processing of projects that have been sanctioned. A total of 11 full-time and part-time staff organised in several regional teams thus take care of a total of some 1,200 ongoing projects (data as of April 2004).
We make sure projects receive funds as scheduled, examine the Statements of Receipts and Payments (pdf 12 kb) sent in by our partners, analyse their narrative Progress Reports, and offer support in the steering of projects as required to achieve the project objectives. In addition to these tasks, we also cooperate with our overseas partners in other financial management matters (e.g. regarding the drafting of budgets, the provision of advisory support etc.). Regular visits paid to project partners facilitate the exchange of information and experience and help us better assess the current local or regional situation and the progress made by the projects in the countries concerned. The information we are thus able to collect also serves to ensure our own accountability towards our donors and boards.
Please see our Guidelines "How to Report on Projects" for further details.
