Activities
1. Country-Level Stipends
An annual stipend of up to USD 1’000 is available to each L/NNGO serving on a CBPF or RPF Advisory Board. The stipend is to cover costs associated with the attendance of Advisory Board meetings, including for example travel costs, background consultations or research, or compensation for any form of salary loss due to the participation in the Advisory Board.
Please note that stipends are disbursed directly to the L/NNGO, not to any individual representative, because membership to CBPF/RPF Advisory Boards is organisational rather than personal.
2. Global travel costs
The Resource Facility covers the international travel costs of L/NNGOs invited to attend the Pooled Fund Working Group (PFWG) meetings and any organized field trips.
These costs include travel, per diem, hotel, and any visa costs, as per ICVA policies.
The Facility will cover hotel accommodation for the day before and after each meeting as needed to enable in-person meetings of the PAG.
3. PAG L/NNGO co-chair stipend
When the PAG co-chairmanship held by a L/NNGO, a monthly stipend of USD 1’000 will be provided to the to cover all costs associated with effectively co-chairing the PAG and providing leadership within the CBPF-NGO Dialogue Platform and the PFWG.
Please note that stipends are disbursed directly to the L/NNGO, not to any individual representative, because membership and co-chairmanship of the PAG is organizational rather than personal.
