Dear All
The call for proposal was very relevant for flood affected Tiyo and Zeway Dugda district in Arsi zone, Oromia regions of Ethiopia. However, Ethiopia is not in the list. Will there be possible consideration if sound proposal reflecting the causes of the disaster and remedial measure be submitted
Hello Takele,
This opportunity is not for Ethiopia. Please explore opportunities via http://fundsforngos1.wpengine.com/category/latest-funds-for-ngos/ and apply for the relevant one.
