The Committee enquired from the NYDA whether they had a proper transition plan in place for the implementation of the new grant funding model. The Committee was of the view that a transition plan would assist in strengthening public confidence in the organization and its funding programmes. It was indicated that such a plan must encompass transparency in the administration of grant funding through clear criteria and guidelines for accessing grant funding and accountability mechanisms for beneficiaries. The Committee viewed the submission and thorough analysis of business plans as critical in the process of awarding grant funding to beneficiaries.
