Project management

Government funded projects

Government funded projects (GFP) receive funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs through Digni/Norad. They are often reffered to as «Digni-projects».

NMS Partner churches or organisations can apply for support for projects that meet the general requirements for GFP-projects. These requirements are guiding, but not absolute, even though failure to meet many of the requirements will probably result in an application being rejected. The Field Coordinators or NMS Advisors can assist when developing an application. For application, reporting and yearly planning the NMS/Digni-templates must be used.

The projects and partners must follow the deadlines in the NMS Annual Cycle for all demands and reporting.See Deadlines for Government Funded Projects
