Ep 21: When the Grantee Is A Country: 7 Ways Grants Move To Or From Your Country

Countries receive grants. Not just nonprofits, universities, and local governments —countries. And much of it does not work the way US federal grants work: no competition, no scoring, no application in the way you and I know it. This is the first episode of Season 2 and the first under our new name, Grants Explained Around the World. Join me, your host as I walk through the architecture of country-level funding: who's eligible, who signs the agreement, and who is actually accountable when the money moves. IN THIS EPISODE (Part 1 of 2): ----Bilateral government-to-government grants ----Compact-style performance grants and the MCC scorecard model ----General and sector budget support ----World Bank IDA, and the single criterion that decides loan versus grant ----Vertical fund allocations and the Global Fund's Country Coordinating Mechanism ----Climate finance, accredited entities, and the difference between going through UNDP and going direct ----Multi-donor trust funds and whose rules the awardee actually follows ****PART 2 COVERS FUNDING AWARDED TO NGOs*** SOME FEATURED FUNDING SOURCES: Adaptation Fund: https://www.adaptation-fund.org/ Green Climate Fund: https://www.greenclimate.fund/ Millennium Challenge Corporation: https://public-inspection.federalregi...
