The Embassy of Canada in Vietnam has announced a call for proposals for Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) to seek small-scale, targeted local projects that contribute to the achievement of Canada’s priorities for international assistance.
The CFLI supports small-scale but high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with the Government of Canada’s international assistance.

The majority of funding will be directed toward local civil society organizations and other institutions working at the local level.

Funding Information
- The typical contribution is expected to be in the range of CAD $15,000-$35,000 for each individual project.
- Larger projects may be considered on an exceptional basis, with appropriate justification for use of funds.
