Proposals will be accepted from a group of NGOs, comprising of at least two organizations working in a consortium. However, one of the partners in the consortium has to be from any of the 16 target countries mentioned below and one from any of the European Union countries. The 16 target countries identified by the Joint Initiative are Georgia, Moldova, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Senegal, Cape Verde, Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Jamaica and Ecuador.
Although application is requested through a consortium, funds would be available for each organization directly up to a maximum of €100,000.
