Up to 6000 KM grant to NGOs and Incubators in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Deadline: 01-Apr-21

The French Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina is launching a call for projects aimed at civil society around the following priorities:

Support for projects aiming at youth.
Support for projects with the objectives of promotion of the equality man-woman.
Support for projects in the environmental field and in particular working to limit the effects of climate change and strengthen sustainable development (green economy, actions to raise awareness and fight against pollution and in favor of the preservation of the environment).
Support for projects for the promotion and strengthening of human rights.

The strategy of the French Embassy in terms of cooperation is part of an evolution connected to the close position of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the European Union; as well as in the continuity of the priority actions sectors defined.

Following this, the French Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina supports the implementation of actions that respond to this perspective, in particular; by funding the structuration of civil society in preferential areas.

Projects including the following are strongly encouraged:

Several priorities across the board,
Cooperation with one or more cities/municipalities / local authorities, and
Showing guidelines for strengthening cooperation with France.

The issue of gender equality and taking it into account even in projects for which this is not the main objective will be an important element in the assessment of the projects.
