Deadline: 30 November 2010
The National Authorising Officer of the European Development Fund in Tanzania is seeking proposals for its "Global Climate Change Alliance in Tanzania" with financial assistance from the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI).
The overall objective of the programme is to increase the most vulnerable Tanzanian communities’ capacity to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change through the implementation of sustainable, innovative and community driven initiatives.
The specific objective of the programme is to support the set up of climate change adaptation eco-villages in rural areas of the country. In the context of this Call for Proposals an eco-village is to be understood as an existing Tanzanian rural community / settlement / village aiming to increase its resilience and capacity to adapt to climate change through the implementation of an integrated and multidisciplinary range of climate change adaptation and mitigation activities resulting in its transformation into a low carbon rural economy and high carbon density landscape.
The total amount available under this Call for Proposals is 1,955,000 millions EUR.
Eligibility criteria, financial allocations, size of grants, and other important procedural aspects are described in details in the Guidelines for Applicants.
The full Guidelines for Applicants are available on the EuropeAid website. (Click on the tab "Search by reference", enter the reference number "130629" and click "Search", then click on "Tender Dossier" to download the zip file containing the relevant documents)
