NGOs from developing countries are eligible to apply for this Call for Proposals. To know more about the eligibility of countries, visit this link.
The range of the grant budget per selected applicant to be alloted under this Programme is between €200,000 to €1,000,000. As usual, the applicant has to propose only 90% of the total cost of the project to the EC while 10% would be covered from the applicant’s own or other sources.
Also, as a policy, all applicant organizations have to complete a prior registration process under PADOR, which is the online EuropeAid database. You can complete the registration process at this link. Only after completing the registration process, organizations can submit applicants under this Call for Proposals. Also, submission is accepted by mail only (not by email or fax) to the EC’s Brussels office and therefore, organizations need to prepare for the proposal in advance so that there is enough time to cover the mailing period.
The last date for submission of applications is 7 April 2009. However, since this is a restricted Call for Proposals, only Concept Notes are invited by the EC and after reviewing the Concept Notes, the proposals will be sought from the applicant organizations.
