ICI Steps
Click on the wheel to see the steps of the project cycle
The Finnish government agency prepares brief progress and financial reports to the MFA as a basis for payments. Progress reporting and invoicing takes place twice a year, or as defined in the contract. Progress reports serve as the basis for monitoring of project progress. The report is first sent to the Facilitation Consultant for review and initial approval. The Facilitation Consultant either approves the report, after which it can be sent to the responsible Desk Officer in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, or requests further information or clarification from the Finnish reporting agency within seven days from receipt. The signed report functions as an invoice in the billing system of the Government
