Eligible applicants are first required to submit a written application for funding accompanied by the project concept note and other supporting documents. These are screened for eligibility and alignment with the Facility’s strategic priorities and only projects that quality for inclusion into the AWF projects pipeline are asked to submit a full grant funding application.
AWF can be contacted through [email protected].
Grant requests may be submitted by two or more institutions partnering on a proposal to draw on the respective strengths of each institution and promote collaboration towards a common goal. The roles and responsibilities of each institution must be clearly defined, including the identification of the lead member. Each institution in the joint submission must be an eligible recipient.
No, you need to fill in the project concept note first and then submit it to AWF for screening. Once the project concept idea is cleared by AWF, you will be notified by writing or mail to complete the project funding application and submit with Government project supporting letter(s).
The project funding application template can be accessed from the AWF website.
Yes, there is no limit to the number of projects from the Country/applicant institution, however, AWF encourages not more than three (3) highest priority projects from a country/ applicant institution, especially if there are many good project concept ideas, as AWF has to ensure regional and sector balance in the final project screening process.
The application process time frame ranges from 3-6 months. It largely also depends on the quality of the funding application submitted by the applicant.
