Important notice

The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Nairobi does not pre-finance the project activities, but reimburses the funds incurred for their implementation. All bank transfers are made by the Embassy when the contractual tasks have been completed, on the basis of invoices presented by the beneficiary.
