Reporting
After the implementation process has ended it is time to report your project to ForumCiv. If the project has run for longer than 18 months your organization is required to submit an annual report as well before the project has ended. The dates for submitting your annual and final report can be found on the Organization Portal. Reporting is an important part of your project. Incomplete and/or delayed reporting can lead to ForumCiv requiring reimbursement of the grant or parts of the grant.
Please observe that all documents for reporting should signed by authorised signatories, scanned and submitted via the Organization Portal.
