The second section contains the eight questions that capture the most important aspects of the project/program. The third section contains a selection of additional questions that allow capturing more specific aspects donors may require. Up to three such additional questions can be chosen.  \nSection 1:  \nBasic Information  \nSection 2:  \nCore Questions  \nSection 3:  \nAdditional Questions  \nName of partner; project number; reporting period, budget, etc.  \nChoice of assistance modality or mix and reasoning  \n1. Overall Performance  \n2. Changes and Amendments  \n3. Measuring Results  \n4. Affected Persons  \n5. Participation & AAP  \n6. Risk Management  \n7. Exit Strategy and Sustainability  \n8. Lessons Learned  \n1. Value for Money & Cost Effectiveness  \n2. Visibility  \n3. Co-ordination  \n4. Implementing Partners  \n5. Activities or Steps Towards Implementation  \n6. Environment  \nDonors and partners can use this standardized template to adapt their own reporting templates accordingly. Importantly, donors are not required to ask all eight questions of section two. Similarly, it is not a requirement to ask three additional questions of section three. Fewer questions (for example 4+3 or 5+1) are always possible and the amount of questions asked should reflect the type of activity (project or program), its size (large or small) and the type of report requested (interim or final report). Designed this way, the 8+3 template is modular and flexible while limiting reporting to a maximum of 11 questions.  \nAn additional guidance highlights good practices using the 8+3 template, including suggestions on adapting the template for progress reports or when it is used for reporting on programs. It is, however, up to every donor to ultimately decide which questions are asked and with which frequency reports are requested. However, when adapting one’s own reporting template, it is critical not to alter the wording of the questions and instructions.  \n1 The 8+3 template is a response to the Grand Bargain commitment to “simplify and harmonize reporting requirements by the end of 2018 by reducing its volume, jointly deciding on common terminology, identifying core requirements and developing a common report structure.” In 2016, the German Federal Foreign Office commissioned the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) to develop a standardized reporting template that simplifies narrative reporting – the 8+3 template. The template was subsequently piloted in Iraq, Myanmar and Somalia between June 2017 and May 2019. A final review report assessing the pilot phase is available [at www.gppi.net/eightplusthree](at www.gppi.net/eightplusthree).  \nA New Way of Standardizing, Simplifying and Harmonizing Humanitarian Reporting  \nHow to Use the 8+3 Template  \nSection 1: Basic Information  \nThe section on “Basic Information” includes identifying information of the project or program. Slight modifications to this standard information section are possible if necessary to clearly identify the projector program within your own tracking system. For example, information on internal divisions responsible or connection to a larger fund or program can always be added.  \nBeyond such administrative information, this section also requests details about the modality used to provide assistance (such as cash, vouchers, in-kind assistance, service delivery or a combination thereof ) and why this modality or mix of modalities was chosen.  \nSection 2: Co","cbCaivOHVq2L2pxg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivOHVq2L2pxg","pdf",734025,"English","# The 8+3 Template\n## Background\n## How to Use the 8+3 Template\n## Section 1: Basic Information\n## Section 2: Core Questions\n## Section 3: Additional Questions\n## Using the Template Without Changing Wording","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 8+3 template in humanitarian reporting?\",\"answer\":\"To standardize, simplify, and harmonize the reporting of humanitarian projects and programs, reducing workload as more donors and partners use the template.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the 8+3 template structured?\",\"answer\":\"It has three sections: basic administrative information, eight core questions, and an optional selection of additional questions (up to three).\"},{\"question\":\"Can donors and partners ask fewer questions than the full 8+3 set?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
