Government of Canada funding opportunity

The Embassy of Canada is conducting a seminar in Yerevan for local NGO representatives on the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) program, including an overview of the program; the application process, and implementation, budgeting, and reporting requirements.   
 
The CFLI is a responsive, flexible program, directly managed by the Canadian Embassy in Moscow to fund small but visible, high impact, results-oriented projects in Armenia and Uzbekistan. Through contribution agreements, the CFLI provides monetary assistance that covers all or a portion of the cost of projects that are comparatively modest in scope, scale and cost and that are usually conceived and designed by local organizations.  The average contribution is 10,000-25,000 Canadian Dollars for 3-4 month projects.
 
CFLI priorities vary from year to year but they all advance democracy and ensure security and stability.  CFLI priorities from the last year:
 
·                     Preventing sexual and gender-based violence; 

·                     Protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms, including vulnerable groups such as sexual minorities;

·                     Supporting democratic transition and expanded democratic participation, particularly by women and minority groups;

·                     Entrenching the rule of law and combatting the destabilizing impact of crime and corruption, including through security sector capacity building;

·                     Strengthening economic governance, including building free markets and an effective enabling environment for business.

 
The event will take place on February 25th at 11:00 at Best Western Congress Hotel, Combined Hall, address: Yerevan, Italy Str. 1.
