Descripción del programa

Donor Compliance & Grant Training in Tirana equips professionals with practical tools to strengthen donor compliance, grant administration, financial accountability, and reporting systems across donor-funded programmes, NGOs, public institutions, humanitarian operations, and development projects.

As development financing mechanisms become increasingly complex, institutions face growing pressure to ensure transparent grant implementation, proper financial controls, measurable project results, and full compliance with donor regulations. Weak grant management systems often result in audit findings, delayed disbursements, compliance risks, procurement irregularities, reputational damage, and reduced funding opportunities.

This Donor Compliance & Grant Training provides participants with practical knowledge and internationally aligned frameworks to effectively manage the full grant lifecycle, from proposal implementation and budgeting to procurement oversight, reporting, compliance, monitoring, audits, and grant closure.

The programme strengthens institutional capacity in:

• Grant administration and donor compliance
• Rendición de cuentas e información financieras
• Budget management and disbursement oversight
• Procurement compliance in donor-funded projects
• Internal controls and audit readiness
• Monitoring, reporting, and documentation systems
• Risk management and fraud prevention
• Results-based grant implementation
• Stakeholder accountability and donor communication

The training combines practical grant management methodologies with real-world applications relevant to NGOs, ministries, PIUs, PMUs, humanitarian agencies, universities, development organizations, and donor-funded institutions.

Institutions managing research-funded and academic grant environments may also benefit from our Grant Management & Compliance for Research Projects Training focused on compliance systems, donor accountability, and research grant governance.
