The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has a call for proposals for civil society organizations in South Africa under the Capacity Building Technical Assistance Fund (CBTAF).
CBTAF seeks to provide insitutional support to organizations that are working to promote good goverance in South Africa. Proposals can be submitted for funding to build capacities in the following areas:
- Building accountable Public Institutions;
- Securing the future for children and youth;
- Food security.
Organisations may request funding to support a learning exchange or technical assistance between your organisation and an organisation in Canada, Africa or elsewhere in the world, or any training which would build capacity in your CSO and not merely develop skills. CBTAF funding CANNOT be used to fund infrastructure, items of a capital nature, salaries, operational costs, medical expenses, team building or training for one person only.
Requirements:
- Only registered CSOs that have been in existence for more than two years, and who are working in the above mentioned focus areas only, may apply;
- Each organisation is limited to the submission of one proposal only. The proposal must clearly outline what capacity will be built or improved within your organization as a result of CBTAF support;
- The proposal’s budget may not exceed CAD 100 000. Projects can be anywhere from one week to one year in duration.
Deadline: 12:00 noon on Monday, January 31, 2011.
