REGARDING FUNDS GOING TO THE AUSTRALIA REGION, THESE ARE ORGANIZATION AND TRANSITIONAL COSTS PAID ON BEHALF OF THE INTERNATIONAL FISTULA ALLIANCE DIRECTLY TO SERVICE PROVIDERS. THE USE OF THESE FUNDS WERE MONITORED BY REVIEWING INVOICES AND PAYING THEM DIRECTLY TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER AFTER APPROVAL IS GRANTED.	ExplanationTxt
