What sort of projects do we fund?
We welcome high quality applications that will support development and strengthen communities in Tunisia across all sectors. While we always seek a diversity of projects, this year we are especially looking for projects that will support development through:
Projects must have defined, realistic objectives and clear outcomes. Regardless of the type of project, all applications should clearly define who will be involved, and who will benefit or be impacted by the project (for example the project could be aimed at improving access to health services for women or providing skills and training for disadvantaged young adults).
Projects must run for no longer than 12 months and should be self-sustainable beyond the term of the grant, or completed by the end of the project duration. DAP funds cannot be used to fund recurrent or ongoing costs, such as staff salaries, rental or utility costs.
