Building on existing experiences of providing knowledge transfer to Central Asian knowledge institutions is an added-value to the Aid for trade project. The additional functionality of the project in terms of providing scope of linkages to the private sector in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan will provide a better sustainability of the activities around the knowledge transfer.
Funding Information
Proposals’ amounts should range to a maximum of USD 80,000.00 for interventions as stated in ToR. The amount requested in the proposal should be commensurate with the organization’s administrative and financial management capabilities. In principle, project duration will not exceed 6 months.
