Funding is granted on the basis of a Loan or Grant Agreement, Memorandum of Understanding, Note Verbale, or on similar contract/instruments entered into by the beneficiary country and the donor institution or country. 03 Special Account-Locally Funded/Domestic Grants Fund- Projects financed out of revenue collections and domestic borrowings.
