Initiatives to Engage Applicants and Recipients |
A two-step contribution agreement is now in place. This is to facilitate and encourage recipients to engage early in the process as DND is now in a position to transfer funds at the design stage via a first contribution agreement. Once the design and any other aspects (e.g. asset transfer, service agreements, etc.) are agreed upon, a second contribution agreement can be signed with the recipient and the project be implemented. |
