Deadline: 24-Apr-25
The German Embassy in Amman offers local non-profit organizations in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan the chance to secure support for their micro-projects.
The micro-project scheme is an initiative within Germany’s broader development cooperation efforts, focusing on small, time sensitive projects that quickly meet the urgent needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, creating tangible improvements to their quality of life.
The German Embassy annually supports selected projects by Jordanian entrepreneurs who are not affiliated with government agencies, as a form of encouragement for small businesses.
Development cooperation projects include, in particular, projects promoting the rights of women, children, persons with disabilities, and refugees. Special emphasis is also placed on projects from the social, agricultural, health, education and environmental sectors.
Funding Information
- Development cooperation projects aimed at improving the living conditions of poor and marginalized population groups are eligible for support ranging from €5,000 to €10,000 per project (support may reach €25,000 in justified exceptional cases).
