Small Grant Projects - Federal Foreign Office Show larger version of image Each year, the Embassy receives special funding to finance small projects for income-generating and poverty-reducing measures (small grant projects). The average costs per project are about €5,000-7,000. With these comparatively small amounts, the quality of life in the communities concerned is often considerably improved.
The projects are usually applied for by local communities or NGOs, which are then responsible for realising and maintaining them. Examples include irrigation schemes, basic renovations in clinics and schools, as well as the initial financing of income-generating Projects. The Embassy accepts proposals made by local Malawian organisations, NGOs, associations or organised groups.
Co-financing with third parties and organisations is also possible. Applications by individuals cannot be considered. Before preparing an application, carefully read the Information Sheet on criteria, exclusions and required documents (attached below) to confirm your project qualifies.
Submitting an application that does not meet these requirements will not be considered, regardless of the merit of the project. The application as a paper print-out AND by e-mail should be directed to: Economic Development Officer E-Mail: info@lilongwe. diplo.

And under EO 14282, certification of Section 117 foreign gift compliance is now expressly material to False Claims Act liability and to receiving federal grant funds at all. Here is the full stack, the dates, and what a defensible file looks like.
