The document outlines a comprehensive grant management regime for Norwegian-funded NGO projects, focusing on financial reporting, auditing, and procurement transparency. It includes a detailed five-year budget and results framework for the Global Forest Watch (GFW) initiative, which aims to reduce tropical forest loss through data-driven monitoring, accountability for global commitments, and the empowerment of forest defenders.

• The Global Forest Watch (GFW) initiative aims for a long-term impact by 2030 where "large-scale forest loss and degradation has been consigned to the history books" and a significant portion of lost forests are recovering.
• The GFW results framework identifies five primary outcomes: strengthening accountability for global commitments, promoting responsible supply chains, empowering forest defenders, fostering a broad-based restoration movement, and creating enabling conditions for sustainable landscapes.
• Grant recipients must adhere to a zero-tolerance policy regarding corruption and financial irregularities, which includes bribery, nepotism, and misappropriation of assets.
• Procurement rules require that contracts exceeding 500,000 NOK be awarded via open tender, restricted procedures, or competitive procedures with negotiation, and must be evaluated by a committee of at least three members.
• The GFW platform's technical objectives include integrating Sentinel-1 radar data into alert algorithms and expanding the 'primary forest' map globally from its current coverage in Brazil, Indonesia, and the DRC.
