CKH Funding
The CKH programme provides small grants (up to £15,000) for skill-sharing
partnerships between Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) from different
countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States.
The new Global Grants programme also encourages links between organisations in this region and Asia, Africa or Latin America. There will be just two grants rounds in 2002, with deadlines of 26 February and 27 August. There
are particularly welcome applications which
address the following: Innovative projects with new approaches to problems;
Cross-border partnerships within the four priority sub-regions listed on
page five of the guidelines (i.e.. Balkans and Carpathians; Caucasus;
Central Asia; Western CIS); Partnerships where skills and 'know-how' are
transferred from larger, more experienced NGOs to smaller, grass-roots,
community-based organisations, which would otherwise have limited access to
funding. In such cases, there will be accepted applications from partners in one country. Further information: www.allavida.org
