In this lecture
- List the standard reporting obligations
- Budget for verification
- Set up data collection at the start of implementation
Compliance is a line item, not an afterthought
Monitoring, third-party verification and annual reporting consume a real share of a facility's budget, and a proposal that omits the cost funds the project but not the obligations attached to it. Funders expect to see it costed, not discover its absence.
Collect from day one
Impact reporting asks for baselines and time series that cannot be reconstructed later. Set up the data collection when the agreement is signed, not when the first report is due, or that report will be an estimate defended in front of people whose job is to audit estimates.
