During implementation of UTaNRMP, financing of CIGs project proposals will be through two key windows namely: (i) Project Coordinating Team (PCT) and ii) Water Services Trust Fund (WSTF) windows.

This matching grants manual provides modalities, processes and procedures that are applied for funding through thePCT window. The preparation of this manual is guided by the Project Design Report, Loan Agreement as well as other GOK and IFAD policy documents. The manual has borrowed from experiences of other Community Driven Development (CDD) such as the World Bank funded Natural Resources Management Project. This manual is prepared with the specific purpose of providing a tool to clearly define the means through which the Sustainable Rural Livelihood and Sustainable Water and Natural Resources Management components will operate and achieve the expected outputs.
