Title: Project Location Model

Description: This schema defines the structure of the project location model. It is used to validate the project location data provided by the KfW counterpart.

1. Property Project Location Model > f_id

Description: For new locations, this column will be empty. For updates, KfW will provide you with the list of f_id numbers of this file to ensure that the updated field ids match with the former ones.

2. Property Project Location Model > scheme_version

Must be one of:

• “3.0”

3. Property Project Location Model > donor_project_no

Description: Every project location must be assigned to its respective BMZ project number.

4. Property Project Location Model > project_acronym

Description: Enter the acronym used for the name/title of the project (e.g. HREII) to be visible on your map. If the project has multiple phases, please add the number of the phase belonging to the before-stated KfW Project-No.

5. Property Project Location Model > data_provider

Description: Legal Entity who owns the data provided here (= legal authorship).

6. Property Project Location Model > publishing_restrictions
