THE FOREIGN RECIPIENT SENDS A REPORT TO MECA WITH A BUDGET OF THEIR EXPENSES COVERED BY THE GRANT. SEE 990, PAGE 2, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT DETAILS. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND PROGRAM DIRECTOR MAKE SEMI ANNUAL TRIPS TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND, IN THESE VISITS, THEY CHECK ON THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE RECEIVED FUNDING FROM MECA TO ENSURE THE FUNDS ARE BEING USED AS INTENDED. MECA HAS A VERY HANDS ON APPROACH TO MONITORING THE RESULTS OF THE GRANTS.
