What classification is appropriate for administrative obligations in expenditure-driven grants?

In the context of expenditure-driven grants, administrative obligations are classified as requirements that are not directly tied to eligibility criteria. Eligibility requirements typically refer to conditions that determine whether an entity qualifies to receive funds, such as specific characteristics or qualifications of the applicants.

In contrast, administrative obligations are focused on how the grant funds must be managed and reported once awarded. These include ensuring compliance with financial management standards, adhering to reporting deadlines, and fulfilling procedural guidelines set forth by the funding entity. Since these obligations do not determine the eligibility of the grantee or the project itself, they fall outside the category of eligibility requirements. Thus, stating that they are not eligibility requirements accurately reflects their role and nature in the context of expenditure-driven grants.
