English term or phrase: chief of party
It is a manual about awarding grants and sub grants.
Many time this expression is used: chief of party.
If I translate as "chef de partie" this can mislead, as a "chef de partie" is a chef in catering.
If I translate as "responsable de parti", this makes think of "parti politique" and it is not the case.
I am looking for suggestions.

Here is a sentence where the expression is used: "If the subaward amount falls within the delegated signature authority of the chief of party, the country office staff with responsibility for grants management and administration will normally be responsible for negotiating with subawardees."

French translation:Chef de projet (responsable des subventions)
Explanation:
On retrouve parfois "chef de partie" sur des sites comme WWF, mais ça sent fort la traduction littérale. Un "Chief of Party" dans ce contexte ne me semble être rien de moins qu'un "chef de projet responsable des subventions".

chef de commission


Explanation:
Etant donné qu'il s'agit d'octroi de subventions, les dossiers des postulants/candidats sont normalement traités par une commission.
