| Tribes Central Station Rue des Colonies, 56 1000 Brussels, Belgium |
2. Po nakazilu vsakega obroka prispevka financerka po elektronski pošti pošlje WFP pisno obvestilo o nakazilu, in sicer njegovemu oddelku za vodenje prispevkov in finančno poročanje financerjem (wfp.finance.donorreceivables@wfp.org), v katerem navede (a) nakazani znesek, (b) datum valute prenosa, (c) da je financerka izvedla prenos sredstev na podlagi sporazuma in (d) referenčno številko WFP za nepovratna sredstva, ki jo WFP sporoči financerki (razvoj.mzz@gov.si; gp.mzez@gov.si in finance.mzez@gov.si). Financerka lahko ob tem obvestilu predloži tudi potrdilo o nakazilu.
3. Če se pogodbenika ne dogovorita drugače, se prispevek plača v evrih (EUR).
4. Prispevek se dodeli v obliki nepovratnih sredstev in izpolnjuje načelo povračila celotnih stroškov v smislu predpisov in pravil WFP ter v skladu z njimi. V tem sporazumu »predpisi in pravila WFP« pomenijo splošne predpise in pravila, finančne predpise in pravila, notranje politike, okrožnice, direktive, priročnike, postopke, notranje prakse in pravni okvir WFP, kar je primerno. WFP za zagotovitev povračila celotnih stroškov kot posredne splošne stroške zadrži odstotek stroškov prenosa, stroškov izvedbe in neposrednih splošnih stroškov, povezanih z dejavnostmi, ki ga občasno določi izvršni odbor WFP (kot je vsak od izrazov »posredni splošni stroški«, »stroški prenosa«, »stroški izvedbe« in »neposredni splošni stroški« opredeljen v predpisih in pravilih WFP).
5. WFP se zavezuje, da bo prispevek uporabil za podporo projektu.
6. Projekt bo pomagal ranljivim skupnostim v Keniji, ki so prizadete zaradi podnebnih sprememb, prilagajati se na podnebne spremembe z ekosistemskim upravljanjem in čebelarstvom. Projekt ima pet ciljev:
a) izboljšati ekosistemsko upravljanje z obnovo/sanacijo degradiranih zemljišč in pogozdovanjem/upravljanjem pašnikov ter uvajanjem podnebno pametnega kmetijstva;
b) spodbujati trajnostne in sodobne čebelarske metode za večjo pridelavo medu, tržnih čebelarskih izdelkov, neoporečno pridobivanje, predelavo in pakiranje visokokakovostnih čebelarskih izdelkov ter tržne povezave;
c) spodbujati ohranjanje in upravljanje tal za trajnostno obnovo ekosistemov;
d) povečati pridelavo medu med kmeti in okrepiti trajnostne tržne povezave z vključevanjem zasebnega sektorja (finančnih institucij in kupcev čebelarskih izdelkov) in
e) spodbujati upravljanje znanja in učenje, zbiranje podatkov, urejanje dokumentacije, inovacije in zagovorništvo, vključno s čezmejnim učenjem med skupnostmi, ki živijo ob meji med Kenijo in Etiopijo, ter s tem okrepiti socialno povezanost.
7. Cilji iz šestega odstavka I. člena se lahko uresničujejo v sodelovanju z ustreznimi deležniki javnega sektorja v Sloveniji, ki lahko z WFP delijo znanje, izkušnje in dobre prakse na podlagi ločenih memorandumov o soglasju z WFP.
UPRAVLJANJE PRISPEVKA
1. WFP prejme, upravlja in vodi prispevek v skladu s predpisi in pravili WFP ter pogoji sporazuma.
2. WFP vsak obrok prispevka najprej evidentira za računovodske namene v protivrednosti v ameriških dolarjih (USD) po prevladujočem menjalnem tečaju Združenih narodov, ki velja na dan, ko WFP evidentira tak znesek v skladu s predpisi in pravili WFP. Taka prvotno evidentirana vrednost v USD se naknadno prilagodi tako, da upošteva morebitne izgube ali dobičke zaradi nihanj menjalnega tečaja med dnevom evidentiranja in dnevom prejetja prispevka.
3. WFP ni dolžan začeti izvajati ali nadaljevati dejavnosti pred prejetjem prispevka. Kljub temu se lahko WFP po lastni presoji in v skladu s svojimi predpisi in pravili odloči, da bo začel izvajati dejavnosti pred prejetjem prispevka pod pogojem, da se vsi taki izdatki, ki jih ima WFP, zaračunajo v breme prispevka.
4. Vse obresti, ki se lahko pripišejo prispevku, in ves preostali dohodek iz dejavnosti WFP uporabi v skladu s svojimi predpisi in pravili. Vsa pričakovana ali realizirana nepredvidena povišanja izdatkov ali obveznosti zaradi nihanja menjalnega tečaja, inflacije ali nepredvidenih dogodkov se evidentirajo v breme prispevka.
ZNAMČENJE
1. WFP soglaša, da bo naredil vse potrebno za zagotavljanje prepoznavnosti projekta. To vključuje:
• po en odmeven videoposnetek v družbenih omrežjih (dolg do 60 sekund) na sredi in na koncu projekta,
• redne objave v družbenih omrežjih (Facebook in X) ob določenih mejnikih,
• fizično znamčenje predmetov, kjer je to primerno − npr. na čebeljih panjih.
WFP bo s financerko usklajeval dejavnosti za prepoznavnost in znamčenje. WFP bo pomagal pri promociji dosežkov projekta in pri povečevanju ozaveščenosti o financerkinih prispevkih ter s tem povečal splošni učinek in uspeh projekta.
2. WFP soglaša, da bo za znamčenje financiranega projekta uporabljal uradni logotip razvojnega sodelovanja in humanitarne pomoči Republike Slovenije.

BOJ PROTI GOLJUFIJAM, KORUPCIJI IN TERORIZMU
1. Vsak pogodbenik se zaveda pomembnosti sprejetja potrebnih previdnostnih ukrepov za preprečevanje goljufij, korupcije, kraje, tajnega dogovarjanja, prisilnih praks ali oviranja, pranja denarja in financiranja terorizma (skupaj imenovanih »goljufije in korupcija«) ter potrjuje, da ima ničelno toleranco do neukrepanja v primeru goljufij in korupcije. V ta namen WFP zagotavlja standarde ravnanja, ki urejajo delovanje njegovih uradnikov, zaposlenih, zastopnikov, izvajalcev in podizvajalcev, vključno s prepovedjo goljufij in korupcije v povezavi z dodeljevanjem in upravljanjem sredstev, zagotovljenih na podlagi tega sporazuma, kot je določeno v predpisih in pravilih WFP, vključno in brez omejitev v politiki WFP o boju proti goljufijam in korupciji, ki jo lahko WFP občasno spremeni.

V skladu s to politiko se WFP zavezuje, da bo, tudi pri sklepanju pogodb s tretjimi osebami, po najboljših močeh poskrbel, da se sredstva financerke, zagotovljena na podlagi tega sporazuma, z njegovo vednostjo v nobenem primeru neposredno ali posredno ne prenesejo ali kako drugače uporabijo za podporo posameznikom ali subjektom, povezanim s terorizmom, ki so navedeni na konsolidiranem seznamu sankcij Varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov ali katerih koli drugih podobnih seznamih, ki jih lahko oblikuje Varnostni svet Združenih narodov.
