In response to this unprecedented circumstance, this Wales and Africa immediate COVID-19 Response round will fund requests for Welsh groups to work with African partners to respond to immediate issues arising from the outbreak of COVID-19.

This funding is not for traditional projects. It must be emphasized that this is a grant funding round in response to a global crisis, requests for funding will need to strongly demonstrate the impact they will make for their African Partner in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The panel will formally award grants once a week. All panel decisions are final and cannot be appealed. If your request is not determined to demonstrate a strong impact in response to an urgent situation, it may be put on hold by the panel to consider at a later date. Once the funding allocation has been met, all applicants will be notified.
