As I said in my previous email:
* Most of the chapters should go through the GAC first, to get used
with a formal process
Uhm, isn't this what is already happening? All those who
are eligible for FDC funding have already gone through the normal Grants Program a
multiple times.
Not all, and many only for project grants not for operations grants
(like part time accounting). This is a flaw of how the process is
perceive I think.
* We need the
first employee/office space budget being a specific GAC
or FDC process (there's pros and cons in having one or the other
handling it). Because let's be honest, the actual FDC process is way
to heavy for those needs and the GAC is not meant to handle such
requests
I'm sorry I don't understand that "you need a specific GAC process..."
Do you mind rephrasing?
Thanks,Abbas.
GAC is not able to provide grant for a full time employee right now.
The only way to get funds for that first employee is through the FDC.
Which, as I said earlier, is a really heavy process.
That being said, GAC can already provide funds for external
contractors on specific tasks, like accounting.
Is my rephrasing better? :s
