Advantages: – Empower developing countries to manage their own funds following their own priorities – Swifter inception and implementation to meet the immediate needs of vulnerable countries – Retain more funds within the country – Recognize the potential of strong institutions in developing countries – Improve institutional and operational processes thru acc. Is the process cumbersome? – The AF has made it a priority to streamline its procedures. This is the fundamental premise of the Fund – The Panel works with applicants. It is not an antagonistic process

(refer previous slide) Does the organization have adequate checks and balances to monitor, control and report on the activities?
