Deadline: 1-Sep-23
A call is launched by the Pacific Permanent Secretariat to support projects in 2023 from the “Pacific Fund for Economic, Social and Cultural Cooperation”, known as the Pacific Funds (PF).
The selected projects must contribute to the regional integration of French communities (New Caledonia, French Polynesia and the Wallis and Futuna islands) and develop regional cooperation with the Oceanian States. These are not in principle bilateral projects.
The Economic, Social and Cultural Cooperation Fund for the Pacific or “Pacific Fund” (PF) is one of France’s regional cooperation instruments in the Pacific. The PF is financed by credits from the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEAE) and contributes to the regional integration of New Caledonia, French Polynesia and the Islands of Wallis and Futuna through cooperation with the independent States of the Pacific.
