Grant receivers can maximize their prospects of attracting funding, by being audited by a licensed GFGP Certification Body. Auditing is provided by a global network of firms licensed by the African Academy of Sciences. In most countries there are a minimum of two firms to choose from.

These independent organizations will carry out an assessment of a grant receiver’s ability to comply with 1 of 4 tiers of the Standard. Organizations that are successful, will receive a detailed GFGP audit report and Certificate of Compliance, which can be displayed on a searchable database used by funders during grant application due diligence.
