Ep 21: When the Grantee Is A Country: 7 Ways Money Moves To Or From Your Country

Countries receive grants. Not just nonprofits, universities, and local governments —countries. And much of it does not work the way US federal grants work: no competition, no scoring, no application in the way you and I know it. This is the first episode of Season 2 and the first under our new name, Grants Explained Around the World. Join me, your host as I walk through the architecture of country-level funding: who's eligible, who signs the agreement, and who is actually accountable when the money moves.
