Monitoring - Belarus

---

Embassy prefers partnership and more intense communication during the implementation of the project, this is why every two months the applicant is requested to inform the Embassy about:

• The state of the project implementation;
• Any needs/requests you may have;
• Any problems or challenges;
• General situation in the project and in your organization;
• This message can be written in Belarusian or Russian;
• Please stay in touch with the Embassy also if all is fine;

Please do not expect that the Embassy will send an email to the grantee and request to submit interim reports. Every two months the Embassy awaits a “signal” from a grantee, this is also to check the beneficiary’s willingness to communicate with the donor, to monitor and afterwards to evaluate the grantee as a partner and a project implementer.

If the project activities allow to monitor viewership or readership the Embassy requests the grantee to allow MATRA/HRF officer to follow this data:

• Grantees may do it either through allowing a special account (agreed with the Embassy) to track statistics;
• In case of printed materials – by providing regular information about issues printed, sold and returned;
• Grantees are requested to include the Embassy into emailing lists and invite/inform Embassy representatives about events that are organized by them;
