The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) rarely issues an international call for proposals, but when it does, it is unfortunately only for Canadian organizations working globally to apply for. Nevertheless, this is an important opportunity since all Canadian applicant organizations need to have local NGO partners in developing countries to submit projects for this opportunity. So if your organization is linked to a Canadian international NGO in your country, then you can propose to it as a local partner if it is submitting a project for these calls.
The calls have been made by the Partnerships with Canadian Branch (PWCB) of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) under its Partners for Development Program.
- Call for proposals: Partners for Development Program – Projects Under $2M
- Call for proposals: Partners for Development Program – Projects $2M and Over
Call for proposals: Partners for Development Program – Projects Under $2M
The objective of this call is to support the international work of Canadian organizations that will contribute to Canada’s efforts to effectively reduce poverty through projects and programs that are sustainable, and have clear results that will make a difference in the lives of people in developing countries.
With this call, CIDA will also:
- concentrate half of PWCB funding in CIDA’s countries of focus and half in other countries eligible for official development assistance and
- align 80 percent of PWCB funding to CIDA’s priority themes.
This call will fund projects from Canadian organizations in partnership with organizations in developing counties. CIDA will contribute between $100,000 and $2 million to projects for a duration of up to five years.
The deadline for submissions is April 28, 2011 at 14:00 PST (Pacific Standard Time).
