The Embassy of the Czech Republic has launched its annual call for proposals for the Small-Scale Local Projects (SLP). These projects are complementary to the large multiple-year projects implemented by the Czech Development Agency (CzDA) and are important component of the Czech Republic Development Cooperation since 2006.

Funding Information

• Funding provided by the Czech Republic for each project ranges between 200 000 CZK (approx. 8 000 USD) to maximum limit 500 000 CZK (approx. 20 000 USD).
• Co-funding from the applicant or other sources is welcomed. Overhead costs are to be borne by the applicant.
• Total sum of personal and travel costs, eventually insurance, vaccination and alike must not exceed 25% of total SLP budget.

Qualifying Projects

• The projects should focus preferably on priority areas set by the Bilateral Development Cooperation Program 2018 – 2023 – inclusive social development (health and education) and natural resources management (water and sanitation), or should be complementary to other activities of the Czech Development Cooperation.
• All projects shall follow the national development strategy and should promote gender equality and respect for the environment.

Eligibility Criteria

Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations can be eligible for a contribution, provided that they are working with local partners and on local projects. Similarly, municipal, regional or national government institutions may receive SLP funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature.
