Goal action plan

AfD applies on annual basis to relevant calls for proposal to ensure the necessary amount of funds could be accumulated for its programs.

Once applications are approved and contracts being signed the activities are being transformed to the field action plans that would get transferred to the field through various meeting and discussions. The project staff work closely with the communities to ensure their awareness about the activities and alignment of objectives. Once the program executions starts the reports will ensure that the activities are being reported to head office as well as to the donors.
