Deadline: 23-Apr-21
The Syria office of Canada based in the Canadian Embassy in Lebanon, is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for the Syria Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI).
The CFLI funds small and preferably visible, results-oriented projects which are proposed and implemented by officially registered local NGOs and organizations working on projects supporting Syrians in Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, or Jordan.
It only provides contributions for project related expenses covered by a contribution agreement.
The CFLI does not cover over-head costs such as those related to the administration of an organization, ongoing or recurring projects, large-scale construction, or general budgetary needs. It is a responsive, flexible program.
This enables Canada to respond to local needs by working at the community level. Equally important, the CFLI serves to empower civil society and local communities around the world.
The CFLI is not to be considered an annual sustainable source of funding. Partners receiving more than two prior grants are discouraged from applying.
