A/HRC/10/49 page 4 B. Admissibility of new applications and selection process 6. In accordance with the selection criteria adopted by the General Assembly in resolution 46/122, the beneficiaries of assistance from the Fund shall be individuals whose human rights have been severely violated as a result of contemporary forms of slavery. Project admissibility criteria are outlined in the Fund’s guidelines. 7. Admissible application forms are verified as to their conformity with approved selection criteria and additional information is requested from the organization if necessary. Reference organizations and specialized networks are also consulted if necessary. The complete application form is then summarized and analysed by the Secretariat in accordance with the selection criteria, to facilitate the work of the Board of Trustees. At its annual session, the Board of Trustees reviews all applications declared admissible, including the original application form, the summary analysis prepared by the secretariat and any other relevant information. The Board of Trustees then makes recommendations to the Secretary-General in accordance with the guidelines of the Fund and Board of Trustees. Following the session the secretariat reviews all the recommendations of the Board of Trustees for consistency with relevant United Nations administrative and financial rules and regulations. The High Commissioner approves, on behalf of the Secretary-General, the recommendations regarding project grants. 8. The beneficiary organizations are requested to accept all conditions attached to the grant, such as providing midyear and final narrative and financial reports on the use of grants by a given deadline. Upon receipt of this confirmation, the secretariat of the Fund requests the financial services of the United Nations Office at Geneva to pay the project grant promptly. C. Monitoring and evaluation by the Board and Secretariat 9. The Secretariat reviews all narrative and financial reports received from beneficiary organizations on the use of project grants, and asks for additional information if needed. OHCHR field presences and other United Nations field offices such as those of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) may be requested to provide the secretariat of the Fund with additional information on the organization or project. 10. In carrying out their evaluation, the Board and the Secretariat carry out the following activities: (a) At its annual session the Board of Trustees reviews the situation of all project grants allocated in previous years. When the Board is satisfied with the reporting by a given organization, it recommends closing the file. If the report is not complete, the Board makes a recommendation requesting specific additional information. No new grants will be allocated to that organization until the Board is satisfied with its report; (b) Board members may visit projects financed by the Fund within their geographic region; the secretariat of the Fund may also visit projects;
