Swedish Mission Council frame 2017-2021 - Amendment for PMU 2017-2019

SMR has submitted an additional application for Sida grants for 2018-2019 in total 122,000,000 SEK. ADDITIONAL APPLICATION Prior to this agreement period, the Pentecostal Mission's development cooperation (PMU) has not been given renewed status as a framework organization at Sida and thus no longer receives direct support from the CSO grant. Instead, PMU, which is a member organization of SMR, has chosen to apply for grants for projects in support of civil society in developing countries from SMR, which pass on grants from the CSO grant. Prior to the current sub-agreement for the period 2017-2021, SMR has already received an offer from Sida to supplement it with an additional application for the period 2018-2019, which corresponds to SMR's assessment and recommendations for support to PMU. Subsequently, PMU has submitted to SMR with an application for a grant from SMR for the period 2018-2019. BUDGET SMR is applying for a total of SEK 122,000,000 for the two-year period 2018-2019, in addition to the already agreed amount of SEK 790,000,000. This is the same amount that the PMU applied for to SMR. SMR's total budget for the supplementary application 2018-2019 is SEK 134,551,400 (including SEK 12,551,400 in own contribution). The distribution between SMR, their Swedish member organizations and the local partners changes somewhat for the period to which the supplementary application relates. Based on the total budget for the supplementary application 2018-2019, the proportion staying with the Swedish member organizations increases from 13% to 19% and the proportion staying with the local partners decreases correspondingly from 81% to 75%. About 6% still stay with SMR. BASIS FOR PAGE ASSESSMENT The preparation has largely been based on SMR's input assessment of PMU's program application, but also SMR's organizational assessment of PMU and Sida's follow-up of SMR and PMU in Kenya, May 2017. Sida has also had access to PMU's program application to SMR, and the PMU's response to SMR's supplementary questions regarding the application. THE PREPARATION Since the intervention is prepared as a supplementary intervention decision, the preparation has, as far as possible, been based on the extensive preparation made of the application for the ongoing agreement period 2017-2021. As the assessment made of the application 2017-2021 is still relevant, this has been retained and supplementary comments regarding 2018-2019 have been added where the additional application causes an updated supplementary assessment. The revisions made by the committee therefore only affect the period 2018-2019.
