Seed funding available through Wetlands International
Wetlands International recently launched the Seed Funding Facility of the Wetlands and Poverty Reduction Project. The facility is an opportunity to provide funds to support the process of project proposal development and local partnerships strengthening for on-the-ground activities that deepen the understanding of how well-managed wetlands can help sustain the livelihoods and security of wetland-related communities.
The intention is that the Seed Funding Facility will allow different sectoral organizations to work collaboratively and engage with local and regional actors in the development of a project proposal that address wetlands-poverty issues.
The Seed Funding Facility is not intended to fund small projects only processes whose aim is the development of a project proposal. Upon completion of developing the proposal, the partners will be expected to submit their proposal to a donor for funding consideration.
Criteria and guidelines for applications can be all downloadable from Wetlands International website: http://www.wetlands.org/WPRP.
Contact Maria Stolk, Seed Funding Facility Coordinator at maria.stolk@wetlands.org for more information about the Seed Funding Facility or for sending your application. The 2006 deadline for submission is 15 October.
