10 Full payments may be made upon signature of the DFC by both the contractual partner and WHO. When deemed necessary, payments may also be made in instalments and linked to deliverables in the signed agreement, which may include submission of interim technical reports and financial statements for prior releases.
20 DFC payments are normally made in local currency. Cheques or bank transfers should, as a general rule, be made payable to a government, governmental agency or specific ministry, and not to individuals.
30 No
new DFCs should be issued or funds released to DFC contractual partners with
overdue reports unless the Regional Director (RD) exceptionally approves in
writing with justification for the delayed reporting.
40 Since DFCs are considered to be grants by the Organization, there is no requirement to submit an adjudication report. Similarly, the approval of the Contracts Review Committee is not required for DFCs.
