How can I contact AWF ?
AWF can be contacted through [email protected].
Can I submit a project concept in collaboration with others ?
Grant requests may be submitted by two or more institutions partnering on a proposal to draw on the respective strengths of each institution and promote collaboration towards a common goal. The roles and responsibilities of each institution must be clearly defined, including the identification of the lead member. Each institution in the joint submission must be an eligible recipient.
Am I required to demonstrate country ownership of my project for it to be considered ?
Yes. The project must have strong country ownership and, in the case of multi-national projects, strong ownership of participating countries, and ownership from project sponsors at the country and regional levels. Evidence of such commitment could include a no-objection letter, agreement, or memorandum of understanding from governmental, intergovernmental, or regional economic communities (RECs) and strategies and plans to access other sources of international climate finance.
Should I complete both the project concept note and the funding application templates at the same time ?
No, you need to fill in the project concept note first and then submit it to AWF for screening. Once the project concept idea is cleared by AWF, you will be notified by writing or mail to complete the project funding application and submit with Government project supporting letter(s).
Where can I access the project concept note and funding application templates ?
The project funding application template can be accessed from the AWF website.
