The Embassy of France in Accra is pleased to announce a call for project proposals for the 2022 “Dwabo” Small Grants Programme to support innovative projects, especially in urban areas including zones of spontaneous settlement, bringing together a multiplicity of actors (CSOs, institutions, private sectors, federations, etc.).
