Is funding available to assist in the participatory aspects of project preparation?
Yes. A Seed Fundhas been established to finance grants of up to US$50,000 for the costs of participatory preparation of the grant. The seed fund grant will finance consulting services, including those from community consultation experts, local consultation costs, and incremental Bank staff travel and subsistence. The seed fund grant will not finance Bank salaries. The grant implementation period is a maximum of 12 months from the date of approval by TFO. The output is expected to be a well-developed JSDF Grant. The TTL can apply for a seed fund grant anytime through the Lotus Notes Database.
