What the funder asks grantees to report

Reporting

Grantees submit an annual interim report by 30 April (progress statement with results and IKI standard indicators, plus a financial statement) and a yearly update on project results to the IKI Office.

Therefore, all IKI implementing organisations must submit an annual report on the progress of their project referred to as interim reports.
