advice, evaluations of expenditures, advice on
sustaining communication with grantees, how to

Implementation
O&S Consulting
stresses transparency in the implementation of grants.
Implementation consists of thorough investigation of the
grantee organization or individual, their ability to
complete tasks outlined in the original grant
application, and supervision of the project from
beginning to end. This includes contracting for
construction, remodeling & repairs, purchasing of office
supplies and communications equipment, hiring local &
international specialists and trainers, arrangement of
travel & accommodations, and contacts for press coverage
and state support. Final reports cover the project from
beginning to end with advice for future projects and
sustainability if appropriate to the grant. |
