Explicit provision for this should be made. The agreement should not be overly complex or detailed. Each activity agreement should deal with one specific area. A logical framework can sometimes be useful for planning an activity within a linkage. The framework links the different elements of a project or program together, along two dimensions.
Some activities require funding.
This is an important component of program development, which needs to be addressed early in the process. Funding will come from the institutions which are partnered, some outside source, or a combination of the two. It is important to reach early agreement with your partners as to how this funding will be obtained. If it is necessary to write a proposal for outside funding, then the responsibilities for this, and the steps involved, need to be clearly outlined, either in the activity agreement or in a separate memorandum of understanding. You and your overseas partners will have to decide how to manage the overall process of developing your proposal.
