Remaining funds
[edit]Do you have any remaining grant funds?
Partial for gifts, there is Android tablet which we have to buy. $1.13 due to the difference between the amount received and the total used. The printing of photos and certificates, the closing ceremony and the jury gift and the internet costs are not yet finished. $310.34 is concerned. We see how to organize the ceremony at the latest in November or not. A discussion is underway with the winners. The prizes will be sending by end November.
In total, $310.34 is concerned.
The fees were used for closing ceremony which was taking place at 14th march 2023 in National Museum of Cameroon
Program Officer notes: René has confirmed on March 23, 2024 that the closing ceremony was organized and the rest of the funds were used as planned.
