The contractor shall be responsible for the management of USAID dollar grant resources going to SOH operating units and SANAA, including all disbursements, advances and liquidations, accounting, procurement and contracting, timely management of USAID funds for activities under the HSII, and assurance of compliance of the aforementioned activities with the procedures and norms of USAID.
