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:
