Beneficiaries must meet conditions in order for their requests to be validated

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

1) Receipt of application files

Project leaders submit a handwritten request. This request provides information on the civil status of the applicant (name and first names, address). It should also make a clear description of the motivations and objectives of the project.

Project leaders are often asked to attach an estimate for their project, if possible.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

2) Study of application files

A committee is responsible for collecting and studying AGR funding requests. This committee is made up of the IRAP Coordinator, Facilitators and volunteers. It meets once and if necessary twice a week to study and rule on requests submitted by migrants / refugees.

At the end of this meeting of the committee, decisions are taken either for:

Give a favorable response to the request
Prepare the request for more information (complete the feasibility study)
Reject the request for various reasons

A visit / investigation is carried out in order to verify certain information on the files already studied or pending.

3) Funding of Income Generating Activities (IGA)

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

The Head of the Committee, in conjunction with the Coordinator and the members of the Committee, orders the start of funding only after validation of the application file. To benefit from the funding, the Committee can use criteria such as:
Student attendance including attendance at training sessions
theoretical and practical.
The number of delays recorded
Student behavior at school and towards teachers and IRAP staff
The Committee can also consult the trainers to participate in the validation of funding files.

It is important to note that in the funding process, the funds are never fully returned to the beneficiaries.
To purchase financing materials, beneficiaries are accompanied by one (1) or two (2) IRAP agents to make purchases and collect invoices and other supporting documents. It can happen, during the financing and after the expenditure, that a sum remains. So if this amount is less than 30% of the funding amount, it can be remitted to the beneficiary who signs a waiver. Usually you are asked to justify this amount, by requesting one or more supporting documents and deposit them with the IRAP.

The beneficiary is contacted and an appointment is made to inform him of the rest of his case.
A second pre-financing visit is carried out to obtain more information on AGR financing applicants.

The beneficiary is invited to take administrative steps to complete his file (photo and other necessary documents).

In agreement with the beneficiary, the project manager and the members of the committee, a date is set for the disbursement of funds intended for financing.

At this level, it is important to emphasize that the financing of IGAs is done in one (1) or two (2) phases for each beneficiary. Between each funding phase, contacts and follow-up visits are made. The purpose of this is to monitor the activities of beneficiaries of AGR funding. These visits are carried out by IRAP agents and
under the supervision of the project manager. At each funding phase, an amount between fifty (50%) and seventy-five (75%) percent of the planned fund per beneficiary is disbursed.
