The Welsh Government’s Wales and Africa Grant Scheme 2022 -25 has opened for applications from community groups and organisations throughout Wales that work with partnerships in Sub Saharan Africa.
This funding round will award grants of £1,000 to £25,000 to support and encourage civil society, business and public bodies in Wales to take action on poverty in Africa that make a tangible contribution to issues such as health, lifelong learning, climate change and environment and sustainable livelihoods.
Initiatives that could be supported include:
- Community-led, income generating cooperatives that have benefit to Wales and Africa;
- Engaging the public through Fair Trade campaigns, advocacy or policy;
- Activities that bring the consumer closer to the producer in a sustainable way;
- Support to small-scale agricultural projects and activities; and
- Support to grassroots income generating activities.
The closing date for applications is the 4th November 2022.
