Deadline: 28-Oct-2024
The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Jakarta announces the launch of the annual call for proposals for small scale projects.
The project implementer is a local entity in the country (in this case, Indonesia, Timor-Leste (East Timor)). This can include educational, healthcare, social, or cultural institutions, non-governmental organizations, cooperatives, local government units, local communities, etc., which will take contractual responsibility for the project’s implementation with the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Jakarta.
Goal
- The goal of this bilateral development cooperation tool is not to build the capacity of the implementer, but rather to support its small-scale development activities. A small local project supported by the Czech Republic should not only deliver development outcomes but also contribute to increasing the visibility of the Czech Republic in the respective country. Various projects can be supported, such as those focused on promoting local development, improving health or medical care, reducing poverty, providing access to education, training people in rural areas, protecting the environment, improving the status of women in society, and so on.
- Through this approach, the Czech Republic supports vital local initiatives that lack sufficient financial resources and need assistance.
Funding Information
- The financial grant for a small local project ranges from CZK 200,000 to CZK 500,000 (approximately 8,500 – 21,500 USD).
Eligibility Criteria
- A small local project can only be implemented by a local entity with legal status in the country of implementation. Individuals cannot apply for the grant on their own behalf. Funds shall be allocated to non-political and non-governmental group only.
- The project should be purposeful, economical, and efficient. For this reason, all payments must be documented with receipts.
- The project must be implemented between the signing of the contract (approximately March 2025) and October 2025.
- Each organization can apply for a grant for multiple projects, but only one project per applicant can be supported by the Czech development cooperation funds.
