The ICEF Project Office (ICEFPO) is responsible for assisting the development of new project proposals, assessing proposals and applicant organizations in relation to development criteria, conducting regular monitoring of ongoing projects, review of progress and financial reports, managing ICEF finances, reporting on development results, and acting as the secretariat to the JPSC.

The staff of the ICEFPO includes:
Mr. M. Satyanarayana, Director
Dr Jaya Chatterji, Senior Project Officer
Mr Lak Tewari, Senior Project Officer
Dr Mihir Maitra, Senior Project Officer
Dr Bhaskar Natarajan, Senior Project Officer
Dr Sudhanshu Sinha, Senior Project Officer

ICEFPO has developed guidelines to conduct performance assessment of the projects in a participatory manner. Performance assessment consists of an appraisal of the performance of the implementing organization, their partners and ICEF in formulation, implementation and overall management of the development project, and their success in achieving results.

ICEF has developed practical guidelines to comply with the Indian Environmental Protection Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. All sub-project proposals currently under review and in progress are subject to the requirements of these Environmental Acts.

Most of the sub-projects have been meeting the laid-down progress report standards and deadlines. Results-based management (RBM) approach is being followed, in planning and implementing all ICEF sub-projects to improve physical and financial reporting.
