- To ensure consistency in the financial management of EDCTP grants;
- To act as a reference document for external auditors and other stakeholders in carrying out financial audits or other reviews of EDCTP-funded projects.

However, in the event conflict arises between these guidelines and the Grant Agreement, the latter takes precedence.
