Call for Concept Notes: Funding for value chains
Private sector actors from OACPS member countries in the cocoa, cashew, maize, cattle, sheep and goat value chains are eligible to apply.
- Are you working in the cocoa, cashew, maize, or livestock (cattle, sheep, goats) sectors in a member state of the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS)?
- Are you from the private sector, with a high interest in resilience, competitiveness, or direct supply linkages with off-takers for sustainability?
- Do you have an innovative idea that makes the above-mentioned value chains less fragmented, more inclusive, particularly for women and youth, sustainable, and profitable? This also includes innovations for by-products of the value chains.
Then this Matching Grant Fund for climate resilient value chains is an unique opportunity for you to realize your goal! The maximum contribution channeled through GIZ will account for 40% (for cashew) or up to 50% (for other value chains) of the total project budget and can go up to 100,000 €.
The call is open from 8th July until 18th September 12:00 (noon) GMT.
