First call for proposals
A first call for concept notes was issued in June 2008. A total of 188 concept notes were received in response, out of which 94 met the stated criteria. These successful concept notes will now be invited to submit a full proposal. Those who were unsuccessful on this occasion are invited to re-apply during the next call for proposals, which will take place in May 2009.
Guidelines and application forms for the full proposal, will be provided before the end of October to those who have made it through to this stage. Applicants will then have until mid-December to submit their proposals. A final decision on which proposals will receive funding will be made in February 2009, after which, grant recipients will work with the CBFF secretariat to finalise project documents..
