B. Project support

 

A project is a planned initiative which pursues a specific objective within a limited budget and timeframe.

There are many ways of initiating project collaboration. If the partner is known beforehand, an idea may come about and evolve through continuous contact and dialogue or in connection with drawing up a country/context analysis.

In other cases, DPOD or one of its member organisations may receive an enquiry about funding which is then discussed between the parties and may result in project collaboration.

The project must fall within Danida’s “Strategy for Danish Support to Civil Society in Developing Countries”, Danida’s criteria for working with disability in the developing world and DPOD’s strategy “The Right to Live with Dignity”. In addition, the project must adhere to DPOD’s country strategy, if there is one for the country in question. It must also be possible to carry out the project with the amount that you apply for (plus any other confirmed contributions). Finally, the project design must be consistent with the declared objectives as well as with the strategies of the partner organisation.

DPOD member organisations, on a par with other Danish NGOs, also have the option of applying for funding of large individual projects directly to the Project Fund which is administered by the Project Advice and Training Centre and Danida/Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
