Description
1) Objective
Founded in 1983, the Micro Projects Agency (AMP) has been relying on a broad network set up by The European Guild, and has been providing tailor-made expertise on microprojects to various international solidarity stakeholders (like local authorities, companies, and foundations). They provide guidance and support to project managers, training sessions, promote events and conduct field assessments. The Agency is characterised by local cooperation structures, low overall costs, and a small scale geographical impact with a potential innovative and replicable nature.
Not eligible are: (1) emergency projects, immediate post-crisis, microcredit, micro-finance, micro-savings, sponsorship, youth projects, volunteering, individual actions, documentary achievements, artistic works, research studies feasibility, simple construction projects and one-off projects; (2) projects that have already obtained funding from the French Development Agency (in particular via the PRA-OSIM system) or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and (3) regional delegations of national structures that do not have an autonomous legal existence.
2) Eligibility
Eligible organisations must be French organisations registered in Prefecture, must have been in existence for at least 2 years and must have less than €130,000 annual resources.
3) Location
The project must be carried out in a country eligible for the OECD Development Assistance Committee.
4) Budget
The Micro Projects Agency co-finances microprojects of international solidarity aimed at improving the living conditions of vulnerable populations to the tune of €600,000 per year. They fund between €2,000-€10,000 per project (up to 50% of the eligible costs).
