Description
1) Objective
The German Embassy Harare has a fund which supports small scale anti-poverty projects by Zimbabwean Non-Governmental Organizations, associations, interest groups and communities. The Small Scale Project Scheme is part of Germany’s overall development co-operation that contributes to poverty alleviation and the improvement of living standards, especially in rural areas. Project examples are bore holes, street children shelters, training centres, orphanages, community halls, sewing machines, construction of a classroom, renovation of maternity ward, installation of solar power, etc.
The German Embassy only supports projects that can be completed within one year and which do not cause any further costs after termination. A project cannot be funded if it has been supported by the German Embassy or by any other German development organisation before. The projects have to be initiated by local groups or communities at the grassroots’ level. They should be directed towards improving the living conditions of the community as a whole in the form of long term investments. The communities themselves have to make a substantial contribution towards the project.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are Zimbabwean non-governmental organisations, associations, interest groups and communities.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Zimbabwe.
4) Budget
Maximum funding is $10,000. Each year, 10 to 15 projects are supported through the Embassy’s Small Scale Project Fund. Running costs cannot be financed. The Embassy does not finance the following project types: vehicles, food, clothing, consumables, computers, printers, television sets, business start-ups, roads, dams, travel expenses, salaries, workshops or cash donations of any kind.
