Grant making procedures
IPPF allocates resources using criteria relating to the level of
need and performance in each of the five strategic priority areas,
using both internationally recognized data and also internal
performance data.
The Governing Council has established the level of unrestricted
funding which should be allocated to each Region. The Regions
then make decisions on the individual funding to their Member

Associations, based on the resource allocation criteria. The highest
priority is for the Africa and South Asia Regions which are allocated
44.5% and 16.0% respectively. Unrestricted grants are awarded on
an annual basis with Member Associations submitting an Annual
Programme Budget which outlines the activities and funding
required in relation to the Strategic Framework. This process is
undertaken by many Member Associations using IPPF’s electronic
Integrated Management System (eIMS). Once approved, Member
Associations receive funding in three instalments during the year
based on satisfactory submission of half yearly and annual reports,
audited financial statements and management letters.
In 2012 the linkage between grants and performance was
further strengthened with the introduction of a Federation-wide
performance-based funding system, under which unrestricted
grant levels are adjusted for each MA based on performance
against a number of key indicators.
Restricted grants are made for a diverse range of donors and
project activities and the Secretariat acts as the implementing
partner and reporting mechanism for Member Associations
receiving the funding. The specific procedures in relation to issuing
grants are guided by the donor funding agreement.
Grants will only be made to Member Associations for whom an
audited set of financial statements have been received, and who
have been assessed as meeting the IPPF accreditation criteria
(see page 14).
