The Awards Management Unit (AMU)

Established in January 2016, the Awards Management Unit (AMU) is an international unit with staff based in Brussels, Geneva, Bonn, Berlin, New York, London, Nairobi, and Amman. It has responsibility for identifying, securing, and managing all funding from statutory/government donors. The unit is organised into five pillars: Strategic Partnerships and Analytics, Programmes and Grants Support, Compliance and Policy, Programme Development, and Training.

The AMU is a bridge between donors and country programmes: providing expert technical advice to the field, while maintaining portfolio-level visibility to ensure consistency and compliance, and manage risk. This unit ensures that donor compliance policies and procedures are implemented consistently, and supports all staff working across the grants management cycle for all restricted funding from global government sources. The unit operates within a matrix management system across teams in Germany, the US and the UK, driving functional integration between all relevant units and staff, in collaboration with the Senior Vice President AMU, Vice President, AMU, and the Senior Vice President for Europe in relation to overarching issues with European donors.
