Eng. Human relation building. One, and very often, the only secure result (See) of an activity (See). Includes a whole string of communication techniques from telling (dirty) jokes, through “ drunken philosophizing” on the injustice in the world to  sexual intercourse in all variations (literary and/or in a figurative sense). It is justified by the fact that there is no peace unless people “normally” intercourse. A kernel of future corruption (See). When thus-established corruption “gets on its feet”, a project (See) is initiated to combat it.

  • Source of verification

    A place and manner of final verification of indicators (See) to prove how a result (See) was achieved, namely, how a certain activity (See) (for which money was granted) was  really implemented, which makes the project (See) seemingly more realistic – because it is linked to something that exists (i.e. XZ archive in the XY building) – but at the same time relatively more expensive (if someone were to really check the above-mentioned indicators in the above-mentioned manner and at the mentioned place  so that every donor rather chooses the more favourable option: to believe one’s word (See: report) that the money was spent as planned. The source of verification always implies additional activities [namely, additional investments which, as a rule, are not calculated into the project budget of the application (See)] which would lead to its verification (See).
