Introduction

The aim of this toolkit is to provide a practical “how-to” guide for countries to assist them in the accreditation process for their national implementing entity (NIE).

This “how-to” guide will include a number of tools for countries to use when they start the accreditation process for a NIE, including forms, practical case studies and step-by step-assistance to ensure a successful conclusion to the accreditation process.

This toolkit is primarily intended for use by those institutions and staff responsible of the following institutions:



  1. Designated Authority
  2. Potential NIEs
  3. Government officials
  4. Civil society; and
  5. UN agencies that may help us to disseminate information on the accreditation process
