(5) provide for periodic evaluation of activities and projects carried out under the application; 

(6) establish objectives, consistent with the purpose of this title, toward which activities described in

Native Hawaiians to be served by the assistance made available under this part will have

positions wherever feasible;

represented by the nonprofit private organization will be substantially in compliance with the 

provisions of title III relating to the furnishing and similar services; and 

(10) provide satisfactory assurance that the fiscal control and fund accounting procedures will 

be adopted as may be necessary to assure proper disbursement of, and accounting for, Federal 

funds paid under this part to the nonprofit private organization, including any funds paid by the 

organization to a recipient of a grant or contract.
