How quickly will a funding decision by DFID be formalised?
If DFID decides to provide funds, we will send you an Accountable Grant Letter, along the lines of the model draft letter at Annex C, amended as appropriate for the specific circumstances. Once this has been signed and returned, DFID can advance all or part of the grant, as agreed. Please note that advance payments in respect of grants for projects lasting longer than three months will be funded on a quarterly basis. In particularly urgent cases, Accountable Grant Letters can be despatched and returned by fax, with original copies subsequently exchanged by post.
