This document consists of the General Conditions and Procurement Provisions for grants issued by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment (KLD) and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) to NGOs. It outlines strict requirements for financial management, reporting, auditing, and procurement, alongside a specific project framework for the World Resources Institute's (WRI) Global Forest Watch (GFW) platform aimed at reducing global forest loss by 2030.

• The grant agreement mandates a 'zero tolerance' policy regarding corruption and other financial irregularities, which applies to all staff, consultants, cooperating partners, and beneficiaries. Financial irregularities are defined to include bribery, nepotism, illegal gratuities, misappropriation of assets, and fraudulent statements.
• Grant recipients must adhere to specific procurement rules based on contract value. Contracts under NOK 500,000 can use the recipient's own procedures, while those exceeding NOK 500,000 must use open tender, restricted, or competitive procedures with negotiation. For contracts over NOK 100,000, a written record of all assessments and decisions must be maintained.
• The agreement establishes rigorous reporting and auditing requirements. Progress reports must compare results against the approved results framework, and financial reports must explain any budget line deviations exceeding 10%. Audits must be conducted by independent certified accountants, and the Norwegian Auditor General retains the right to perform independent reviews and field visits.
• The World Resources Institute (WRI) project aims for a long-term impact by 2030 where 'large-scale forest loss and degradation has been consigned to the history books'. The project utilizes the Global Forest Watch (GFW) platform to strengthen accountability, promote responsible supply chains, and empower forest defenders.
• The GFW project's results framework sets specific targets for 2023, including increasing the number of verified 'use cases' to 400 and growing the number of active users to 5,000 in South America, 14,000 in North America & Europe, 7,000 in Asia, and 2,000 in Africa.
