Project Partners by Year - 2004 I 2005 I 2006 I 2007 I Community Partners I Financial Administration FUNDING PARTNERS Since 2004 AMURT has successfully realized nine integrated community development projects, receiving and managing a total of $2.1 million. The NGO has consistently received high ratings from the major International Development Agencies in Haiti. AMURT is one of a few organizations out of hundreds to consistently qualify for financing by funders such as USAID and CIDA. AMURT relies on close ties with a diverse range of local and international partnerships to help it finance, realize and maintain its long-term projects in Haiti. One of the NGO's strategies is to strengthen the synergy with organizations of similar development principles. On the grassroots level AMURT continuously reinforces its numerous local partners, seeking to build-up their planning and management capacities. Being a volunteer-based NGO it has developed a close cooperation with organizations such as Engineers Without Borders, World Eco Engineering, Dissigno, among others. It also actively seeks out funding agencies both in Haiti and abroad, and maintains a transparent and systematic set of administrative procedures. Since 2004 the internal and external financial audits of its financial management have revealed its capacity to fiscally manage large grants, spending more than 90 percent of its funding on direct project costs going straight to the beneficiaries. As one WFP official recently commented about AMURT, "You are really investing in the communities, the results of your work says it all, and talking to the people on the field shows that you are very well accepted in the area."
