Finnish Fund for Local Cooperation Call for Proposals
Deadline to submit concept notes: Friday 23.04.2021, 15:00 o'clock (GMT +3)
Fund for Local cooperation is part of Finland's Country Strategy in Tanzania. It complements the Finnish-Tanzanian bilateral cooperation especially under the outcome area "Finland promotes good inclusive governance, human rights and gender equality”.
The 2021 call is looking for project proposals, which aim at supporting:
- Youth economic empowerment, especially young women
- Land ownership, use and inheritance rights, as a tool for empowering women, young adults and pastoralists
- The rights of people with disabilities
The Embassy of Finland's Fund for Local Cooperation (FLC) builds on the view that sustainable development cannot be achieved without an active civil society. In Tanzania, civil society organizations are needed both for their advocacy work as well as service delivery. The FLC aims to build partnerships between the civil society organizations and the Embassy of Finland and to support the organizations so that they can operate more effectively.
With FLC, the organizations can, for example, influence policy processes, monitor government actions or enhance service delivery to vulnerable groups with the ultimate aim of poverty reduction and realization of human rights.
How to apply?
The maximum funding for project support per organization is 80 000 euros for the period of two years.
