- Engineering
- Climate change adaptation
- Training and other capacity building initiatives to be implemented through seminars, workshops, community consultations, and expert group meetings among others
- Environmental management initiatives that will directly impact on reducing community vulnerability (e.g. watershed management projects in degraded areas, which will contribute to enhancing resilience in nearby communities)
Funding Information
Each project should fall within the range of US$5,000 to US$25,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- All registered NGOs, CBOs, charity or non-profit organisations, national disaster coordinating bodies and universities operating within local communities across CCRIF member countries in the Caribbean and/or CARICOM member countries are eligible for funding.
