Marie Antoinette Carlier Fund - Call Support for Civil Society Networks

Content
The Marie Antoinette Carlier Fund was established to contribute to the further development of the African continent. It will therefore give financial support to a number of African civil society networks working for, and with, youth from throughout the continent in the field of education, water and health.

To identify which networks to support, the Carlier Fund is launching a first call. Applications will be considered admissible only if they comply with the procedure, respect the conditions and are received before the 9th of April 2010 at the right e-mail address.

Submission and selection
Any African civil society network that fulfills the conditions can directly submit an application for financial support.
The Management Committee of the Carlier Fund will do a first preselection of the networks. The managers of the preselected networks will then be invited to send further information to the Management Committee, who will make a final selection by the end of 2010.

Amount
The Management Committee of the Fund will determine the precise amount of funding. The maximum amount of support available for a network will be 30.000 € a year. The funds allocated must be entirely invested in the African network.
