Policy Statement:

The United Foundation for Global Development (UFGD) is committed to transparency and accountability in all our operations, including financial transactions and project implementation. This Pricing Disclaimer Policy outlines the acknowledgment and understanding that market prices for materials or livestock used in our projects may experience fluctuations without prior notice.

Scope:

This policy applies to all stakeholders, including donors, partners, and beneficiaries, who engage with UFGD in projects involving the procurement of materials or livestock.

Policy Details:

1. Market Volatility:
   - UFGD engages in projects that may involve the procurement of various materials or livestock. It is important to note that market prices for these resources are subject to change due to factors beyond our control, such as global economic conditions, supply and demand fluctuations, geopolitical events, and other market dynamics.

2. Notification of Price Changes:
   - While UFGD endeavors to maintain cost stability in project budgets, it is understood that market prices for materials or livestock may increase without prior notice. Such changes may impact the overall budget allocation for a specific project.

3. Mitigating Price Fluctuations:
   - UFGD will implement prudent financial management practices to mitigate the impact of unexpected price increases. This may include exploring alternative sourcing options, negotiating with suppliers, and seeking cost-effective alternatives without compromising project quality or objectives.

4. Communication with Stakeholders:
   - In the event of significant price changes that may affect project budgets, UFGD will strive to communicate promptly with stakeholders, including donors and project partners. This communication will include a detailed explanation of the reasons behind the price fluctuations and any necessary adjustments to the project plan.

5. Donor/Sponsor Acknowledgment:
   - Donors/Sponsors are encouraged to acknowledge that unforeseen market fluctuations may occur during the course of a project. Their support and understanding in managing these changes are invaluable in ensuring the successful implementation of UFGD's projects.

6. Recording and Reporting:
   - UFGD will maintain accurate records of procurement costs, including any changes due to market price fluctuations. These records will be available for review by stakeholders upon request.

Conclusion:

UFGD is committed to the highest standards of transparency and accountability. While we strive to manage costs effectively, it is essential to recognize that market dynamics can lead to fluctuations in prices for materials or livestock. We appreciate the understanding and support of our stakeholders in navigating these challenges as we work together towards achieving our shared global development goals.
