Small-scale projects from German Embassy New Zealand

Description

1) Objective

Small scale projects are social projects, implemented by NGOs, aiming at for example supporting development, alleviating poverty, providing education and training to underprivileged persons in rural areas, protecting the environment and supporting women’s issues or LGBTQ+ rights. Gender equity aspects are to be taken into consideration as women and men should benefit from the project to the same extent.

With these project funds, the German Embassy supports local initiatives which cannot be realised by the organisation itself due to lack of financial means. However, the funds for small scale projects are limited and not every project submitted can be taken into consideration.

2) Eligibility

Local NGOs are eligible.

3) Location

Actions must take place in Cook Islands, Kiribati, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

4) Budget

Only one-time purchase of material and equipment up to a maximum amount of the equivalent of €20,000 can be financed. Recurrent expenditures such as e.g. salaries, rent payments, electricity or water bills, food, travel expenses, school fees cannot be financed

5) Application

The project proposal has to be submitted in English language between 1 st of October to 31 st of January. Please note that proposals which are handed in after this date cannot be considered. The templates can be downloaded from the given website.
