Narrative Submission Finalization Tips
Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and Health Diplomacy, U.S. Department of State
Before You Mark Final
- Resolve all system validation errors
- Confirm totals match approved source files
- Keep annex filenames short and descriptive
- Remove draft comments and tracked-change artifacts from uploads
Attachment Guidance
Large files may timeout. Split annexes when the portal prompts you, and avoid embedding personal identifiers in free-text fields or filenames.
After Final
If a correction is required post-Final, follow the mission's revision process rather than creating duplicate narratives.
Audience
Partner staff preparing quarterly indicator narratives ahead of a FACTS Info data lock.
Recommended steps
- Complete required narrative fields before uploading late attachments.
- Run built-in validation and resolve blocking errors early.
- Confirm agency reviewers have visibility before the lock timestamp.
