Call for Projects South 2023

Are you a recognised Belgian civil society organisation or a non-profit organisation and do you want to launch a sustainable and inclusive economic development project in a developing country?

Brussels International and hub.brussels are launching a new Call for Projects, at the initiative of State Secretary for Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Pascal Smet.

Context

The Brussels-Capital Region (BCR) wants to contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations and more specifically to the global eradication of poverty through sustainable and inclusive economic development.

Goal

This Call for Projects was created to support sustainable and inclusive economic development projects in developing countries.

The projects must be implemented:

  • in an urban or semi-urban context.
  • in one of the BCR’s three partner regions (see rules): City-Province of Kinshasa (DRC), the Region of Rabat-Salé-Kénitra (Morocco) and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem).

Who is eligible?

The Call for Projects is open to recognised civil society organisations as well as other Belgian non-profit organisations (ASBL/VZW). In the latter case, this includes organisations actively engaged in the field of international solidarity as well as associations focusing on economic development.

Which support?

With this Call for Projects, the Brussels-Capital Region wishes to provide support to a maximum number of projects in the range of €10,000 to €125,000 (see rules for more details).
