PAYMENT POLICIES:

Full payment of any of the approved standard fee options below must be paid by 15th September 2023 to secure your participation in the conference. Delegates who do not make full payment by this timeline would lose the opportunity to participate in this conference.

Variation in fees is part of COIF’s commitment to have all people with different economic backgrounds have equal opportunity to participate in this capacity building activity. Variations could be a result of the geo-economic conditions of applicants.

Delegates should refrain from paying fees to any person or group of persons. All payments should be made directly into the official conference account (find details below). However, delegates who may not be able to do this due to various reasons should ensure that they make payments ONLY to team members listed on the website or application link. Delegates can confirm the validity of an accreditation of any Representative by calling our official contact lines. Special arrangements can be made with Representatives to make payments in installments. Please request for an official COIF receipt upon any payment made in cash. All receipts should be kept properly for records sake and would also be used as proof of payment.

Any delegate who wishes to withdraw from the conference is not entitled to any refund of any amount of fees paid.
