Agreement with Union to Union

Assessment of financial and administrative capacities subsequent levels

Before signing an agreement for transfer of funds it is mandatory to conduct a financial and administrative assessment of the partners that will receive the funds. Union to Union assesses its agreement partners (Global Unions and Swedish affiliates). It is the responsibility of these partners to conduct an assessment on subsequent levels if funds are transferred further. This template has been made to assist our partner organisations to do this.  It can be used as it is or the questions in it can be integrated into the partners own templates. As a general rule all the questions in the template need to be addressed in the assessment.

Sample field agreement 

In accordance with the requirements of Union to Union, when funds are transferred to another partner organisation within the project chain, the Swedish unions and Global unions must sign an agreement with that organisation. These sample agreements have been made as examples to be used by our partner organisations.

Here you can find guidelines and policies for the development cooperation.
