This query is : Resolved
I am working for an NGO providing counselling services to remand home children
Now the funder(foreign) wants us to give a Terms of Reference (TOR) to some of its consultants that would be monitoring and evaluating the project.
We have no objection for the same but
My query is
Is TOR a legal document?
The service receiver is a govt body and do I have the capacity to commit on they getting reviewed?
How do I communicate to the funder or do I directly change the terms and send for approval

Terms of reference describe the purpose and structure of a project, committee, meeting, negotiation, or any similar collection of people who have agreed to work together to accomplish a shared goal. The terms of reference of a project are often referred to as the project charter.
Terms of reference show how the object in question will be defined, developed, and verified. They should also provide a documented basis for making future decisions and for confirming or developing a common understanding of the scope among stakeholders. In order to meet these criteria, success factors/risks and constraints are fundamental. They are very important for project proposals.
Creating detailed terms of reference is critical, as they define the:
Vision, objectives, scope and deliverables (i.e. what has to be achieved)
Stakeholders, roles and responsibilities (i.e. who will take part in it)
Resource, financial and quality plans (i.e. how it will be achieved)
Work breakdown structure and schedule (i.e. when it will be achieved)
They should include:
Success factors/risks and constraints.
