Deadline: 11-Oct-2024
The Embassy of the Czech Republic is launching its annual call for proposals for the Small-Scale Projects (SSP) directly managed by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Phnom Penh.
These projects are complementary to the large multiple-year projects implemented by the Czech Development Agency (CzDA) and are important component of the Czech Republic Development Cooperation since 2006.
Qualifying Projects
- The projects should focus preferably on priority areas of Czech Development Cooperation in Cambodia – inclusive social development (health and education) and natural resources management (water and sanitation) linked to health and education
- It is desirable that the implementer would cooperate with Czech subjects, e.g. purchase Czech products, use Czech know-how, and similar.
- All projects shall follow the National Development Strategy of Cambodia, contribute to Sustainable Development Goals, DEU activities in Cambodia (specifically Team Europe Initiative themes: green growth and decent jobs; sustainable landscapes, forests and agriculture), and promote gender equality and respect for the environment, including climate security.
- Crucial condition is project sustainability (meaning the project would show self-capacity of running in the future without further external financial support).
Funding Information
- Funding provided by the Czech Republic for each project ranges between 200 000 CZK (approx. 9 000 USD) to maximum limit 500 000 CZK (approx. 23 000 USD).
Eligibility Criteria
- Only subjects that can demonstrate their independent legal status in Cambodia can submit SSP proposal(s);
- Non-political and non-governmental organizations only;
- Implementer of the SSP is a local subject with legal status in the country of the project implementation;
- Implementer must be eligible to sign contract with MFA CZ that establishes jurisdiction of Czech laws and Czech courts.
- The majority of SSP funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations can be eligible for a contribution, provided that they are working with local partners and on local projects. Similarly educational, health, social or cultural institutions or local governmental institutions may receive SSP funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature.
