Anyone may apply for PPIAF funding. Country-specific activities must originate from or be endorsed by the relevant senior official in the beneficiary country.

Proposals for PPIAF funding are assessed against a set of criteria that include government commitment, value for money, environmental and social responsibility, and consistency with PPIAF’s mission.  

How to Apply

Applicants must answer all questions and provide enough information to allow the Program Management Unit to adequately evaluate the proposal.

Applications go through an initial screening to ensure that they are complete and consistent with the eligibility requirements. Those that are incomplete may be returned or rejected. Those that do not meet threshold eligibility requirements may also be rejected.
