Call for Projects South 2024
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, Ans Persoons.
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 – French / Dutch): City-Province of Kinshasa (DRC), the Region of Rabat-Salé-Kénitra (Morocco) and the occupied Palestinian Territory (West Bank and East Jerusalem – the Gaza strip being excluded from the scope of this call).
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 ?
In 2024, a budget of € 655,000 is allocated for this call for projects including € 430,000 disbursed in priority to projects taking place in the occupied Palestinian Territory.
With this call for projects, the BCR wishes to provide support to a maximum number of projects in the range of €10,000 to €125,000 (see rules for more details – French / Dutch).
