APPRAISAL SUMMARY GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 52 OF 101 F the required actions in coordination with the project team. The project will take steps to prevent these remains from being damaged and promote their conservation. Part of the project is located within the Abanico del Pastaza Wetland Complex Ramsar Site, which could be considered a natural heritage site since it will also contribute to the protection of this wetland of international importance. Gender Based on cultural aspects, indigenous families have well-defined roles for their members. Men are responsible for hunting, fishing and forest resource gathering, while women are in charge of food preparation and childcare. Work on the farm (chacra), where yuca (Manihot esculenta) is the principal product, is an activity performed by both men and women. Although men carry out extractive activities, the processing and conservation activities will incorporate women. According to the experience of the Pastaza Morona<strong>–</strong>First Stage Project with bio-business implementation, women were included in the productive transformation and preservation process (aguaje fruit processing, drying and salting fish), and in the production of handicrafts and ceramics. Taking these experiences into account, the project will create spaces for the gradual participation of women in bio-businesses and will train them in economic development issues, and promote their role in forest management and participatory monitoring. Furthermore, it will promote the sharing of experiences with women leaders of other indigenous groups, while respecting their traditional customs, and will promote to the extent possible their access to financial products, as part of the component to support indigenous peoples’ registration and access to finance. Currently, most women in the seven native communities only speak their native language. In that sense, the project will be respectful of their culture and will seek to achieve the gradual participation of women in community meetings, enabling the conduction of such meetings in each population’s language. There is a considerable gap in socioeconomic and family composition data and information on the ethnic groups in PDM. It will take a long time to build trust before such information can be collected. The proposed M&E system will seek to gather such data. PROFONANPE will seek a balanced participation of women in the field office. If feasible, no less than 50 per cent of the project’s personnel in Datem del Marañón will be women. F.4. Financial Management and Procurement PROFONANPE has expertise in working with donor funds and has a good track record in implementing or coimplementing 36 programmes and projects using sound financial management practices. The PROFONANPE Directorate of Administration and Finance adheres to policies and procedures that meet donor agencies’ requirements. For this project, it will be responsible for fiduciary aspects and will be accountable for all financial and investment activities. With regard to accounting policies and procedures, the principal regulatory framework for the project’s financial management will comprise: (a) Peru’s laws governing budget and financial management for the private sector; and (b) the operating manuals and norms of PROFONANPE, which include acceptable accounting policies and procedures. The tailor-made administrative management integrated system (Sistema Integrado de Gestión Administrativa) of PROFONANPE enables the recording of the entity’s transactions through the use of international accounting standards. Financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and the standard chart of accounts accepted in Peru. A specific bank account, in United States dollars, is set up for the project and resources are changed to local currency
APPRAISAL SUMMARY GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 53 OF 101 F according to the project’s requirements. PROFONANPE does not have an internal audit department. However, it has a control specialist, reporting to the Director of Administration and Finance, in charge of: (a) checking all payment support documents and ensuring compliance with the donor’s hiring and procurement conditions; (b) checking compliance with terms of contracts for the procurement of goods and services, in regard to deliverables, deadlines, service conformity, amounts and characteristics or delivered goods or equipment, work assessments, and work progress reports; and (c) ensuring payment vouchers comply with tax regulations. Furthermore, PROFONANPE has an internal audit committee designated by its Board of Directors that follows and controls an external auditing process. In addition, the administrative staff of PROFONANPE has established periodic and spot-check reviews (in situ) of programmes’ and projects’ accounting and financing procedures. The purpose of these reviews is to verify the accuracy of the documents and to ensure that agreed activities have been implemented using internal regulations. The budget for travel and per diems is consistent with the policy of PROFONANPE, and is the same one applied to all projects in the area. The rates are arrived after taking into account the most recent information gathered in the region.
