There you will find a list of all started applications displayed. You can reopen your application form and continue where you left off.

This confirmation will be sent to the email address provided on the form of the application. If you do not receive an email confirmation, you should assume that your application has not been successfully sent.
ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS If you need to attach documents to your application such as quotations, pictures or budget, please make sure that you have the necessary files in digital format on your computer or other storage device, so that you can attach to the application form. You can only upload one attachment at a time, so you should wait for a file to load before attaching the next. Files can be 25 MB each. However, we recommend files with a maximum of 5 MB because the larger the file, the longer the charging time.
ASSESSMENT PROCESS Applications for DAP funding are screened by the DAP coordinator. Short-listed projects are then considered by the DAP committee. Projects approved by the committee are recommended to the Ambassador for final approval. The assessment process will begin after the closure of each round and can take up to 2 months. Only successful applicants will be contacted.
