| ADS 308,
Grants and Cooperative Agreements With Public International
Organizations
Revision: 02/05/2004
Release Date: 02/12/2004
New and Revised Policy Directives and Required
Procedures:
ADS Chapter 308, Grants and Cooperative Agreements
With Public International Organizations (PIOs), has
been revised. In addition to using plain language and
the new ADS format, the reissuance makes a number of
substantive changes.
USAID no longer maintains its own list of PIOs, and
instead has adopted the list of International Organizations
approved for details by U.S. Government employees, maintained
by the Office of Personnel Management. It includes as
a new mandatory reference a list of International Agricultural
Research Centers approved by the AA for EGAT. To more
accurately reflect the statutory limitations, the chapter
states that USAID may not fund 100% of a trust fund
if it does not have audit rights, and eliminates the
requirement for cost share that was applicable only
to grants to the UN. All PIO grants must be drafted
using ProDoc, and grants in USAID/W must be processed
through NMS. The Standard Provision on Refunds was revised
to allow a grantee to retain up to $250/per year in
interest earned on advance payments. |
