CERF Guidance: Monitoring of CERF Allocations

This note provides guidance on the monitoring of CERF-funded projects at field level. The note seeks to clarify roles and responsibilities in monitoring the implementation of CERF grants and outlines activities that shall take place to ensure availability of necessary information during and after the implementation phase. Processes related to official CERF narrative and financial reporting are not addressed in detail in this note; please refer to CERF’s website for relevant guidance on this. The note has been developed in response to requests from CERF practitioners at field level as well as to findings and recommendations from CERF-related evaluations and from audits by the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) . The note is meant to complement and not replace existing CERF guidance.
