Individual Projects South
The funding instrument, Individual Projects, South is intended for Austrian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that make a sustainable improvement in the conditions of life of the target groups in developing countries together with local partner organisations. Through projects lasting several years, they actively contribute to poverty reduction. Cooperation with relevant local and international organisations and strengthening target groups through capacity development for sustainability must make up major integral parts of project activities.
Ineligible for funding are studies and projects devised solely for transporting persons or goods to a developing country or more than half of whose costs are allocated for physical construction and/or procurement (including requisite personnel expenditure).
Entitled to apply are legal entities such as societies, foundations, trade unions, regional/local administrative bodies or other public-law corporations domiciled in Austria. Individuals are not entitled to apply.
Maximum funding by Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) amounts to EUR 100,000 with a 50 per cent funding quota for projects in following countries:
- Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador
- Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Senegal
- Ethiopia, Uganda
- Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Republic of South Africa, Tanzania
- Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan
- Palestinian Territories
The funding quota amounts to 25 per cent for projects in other least developed countries.
The project term amounts to between two and three years. The annual submission deadline for grant applications is 15 April.
Substantive focus
Assisted are projects to reduce poverty and to safeguard peace and human security in developing countries. All projects must take account of gender equality, preservation of the environment and the inclusion of underprivileged groups such as children, old people and persons with disabilities. They can be carried out in all developing countries with the exception of Black Sea Region and Danube Region. For these regions and countries, applications can be submitted via the funding instrument, Individual Projects East.
