Call for Proposals: Good Governance Fund – Strategic Support Fund
British Embassy Chisinau announces the call for Proposals: Good Governance Fund – Strategic Support Fund - Moldova
British Embassy Chisinau
The UK Government’s Good Governance Fund (GGF) was launched by Prime Minister David Cameron earlier this year to support economic reform and good governance in Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, Serbia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
The GGF will support work in the following areas: anti-corruption measures, improving the business environment, judicial reform, key sector reforms (e.g. banking and energy), strengthening the rule of law and supporting an independent media. These interventions will support States to become more resilient to external and internal political and economic shocks.
This call for proposals specifically seeks applications for projects relating to the Republic of Moldova. Successful applications will be supported through the GGF’s Strategic Support Fund (SSF) which is a highly flexible funding mechanism to support small-scale reform opportunities.
We welcome projects in the value range from £20,000 up to £50,000.
Selection criteria

• Projects should have clearly defined, SMART outputs and deliverables and demonstrate value for money;
