Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) invites proposals from South African civil society organisations (CSOs) to help advance the aims of its Capacity Building Technical Assistance Fund (CBTAF).
The purpose of CBTAF is to provide institutional support to CSOs that are working to promote good governance in South Africa.
CIDA invites CSOs working in the following areas to apply:
– Building Accountable Public Institutions;
– Children and Youth;
– Food Security.
Proposals should request funding for capacity building in your own organisation.
You 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 other form of training which would build capacity in your organisation. CBTAF funding cannot be used to fund infrastructure, items of a capital nature, salaries, operational costs, medical expenses, team building or individual training.
Please note that only registered CSOs that have been in existence for more than two years and that are working in the above mentioned areas are eligible to apply.
Each organisation is limited to the submission of one proposal. The proposal must clearly outline what capacity will be built or improved within your organisation as a result of CBTAF support.
The proposal’s budget should not exceed CAD100 000. Projects can be anywhere from one week to one year in duration.
Last date for submission of proposals is September 12, 2011
