    (Association of African Universities (AAU), 2025) Ramoutar-Prieschl, Rakeshnie
    In an increasingly digitalised world, developing and using online systems improve the efficiency and effectiveness of managing grants among the SGCs. This framework’s purpose is to provide the basic set of grants management principles, processes and applicable rules aligned with effectively developing and managing DGMS. This framework: - Serves as a guide for the effective deployment and implementation of a sustainable national DGMS among the SGCI in Sub-Saharan Africa members; - Provides a backbone for developing tailored grants management requirements and standards to help in the effective management of grants among SGC partners; - Creates a space for shared learning among SGCs; and - Provides processes to guide grant managers when designing, implementing, and monitoring funding instruments using DGMS. The guide covers the grants lifecycle, from designing and preparing a call to implementing and monitoring and evaluating outcomes. The framework is informed by a comprehensive literature review and desktop survey. The survey was circulated to key SGCI stakeholders including a select sample of active SGCI participating institutions in southern, eastern, and western Africa. Annex 1 presents a detailed representation of the survey participants.
