The Embassy offers the possibility to quickly and unbureaucraticly sponsor micro scale development projects within their Technical Cooperation. These projects shall directly benefit the underprivileged groups of society. It is this kind of visible support which is generally treasured and well-acknowledged by the local population.
The support of micro scale development projects by the Embassy is limited to the amount of 20.000 USD. Please find information about projects eligible for support, suitable applicants and the procedure of application in the information leaflet. This as well as the application form is downloadable from this page.
Based on these ideas, several projects have already been conducted during the last years throughout the country. In most of the cases projects are dedicated to foster “self-help” approaches. Please find a small selection of current projects here.
