We note that for regional funds, we can ask for a 10% advance after signing the PIA. Does this also apply to bilateral funds?
There is no advance payment for the bilateral funds.
For all payments, except for the advances of the management fee and the RCSI, the receipt of the Management and Control Systems description is a prerequisite.
Related to the bilateral funds, kindly note that the bilateral plan must be submitted within 12 months of the signature of the Programme Implementation Agreement, but can be submitted earlier.
