How much should each project cost?
Projects will receive grants of up to £500,000 per year (UK financial year, 1st April – 31st March), with a maximum of £1,000,000 total budget over 18 months total period of performance. Applicants should submit project proposals with a duration of 12 to 18 months. Projects will be selected through a two-stage competitive call for proposals.
First stage will be a call for expressions of interest in which all applicants shall describe their organisation and provide a reference of a project successfully completed in the areas of interventions for which they are applying. After eligibility and capability assessment, short-listed applicants will be invited to submit a proposal with a clear indication of outputs to be achieved in the first year, and they must be able to demonstrate how they would achieve clear results and early concrete impacts within one year. Project continuity will be assessed based on a performance evaluation conducted at month 12.

How long can each project last?
All projects should aim to last up to 18 months and are expected to start around October 2025 and can end no later than March 2027. The proposals must have a clear indication of the outcomes expected to be achieved in the first year, as well as in any subsequent years of implementation. The projects that present a clear implementation plan, offer concrete deliverables, and demonstrate measurable progress toward intended outcomes—particularly within the current fiscal year (April 2025–March 2026)—will be prioritised to ensure timely delivery and alignment with programme and funding cycles.
