Call for project bids to promote open societies and address climate change in Slovakia

British Embassy Bratislava invites Slovak non-profit organisations to submit project proposals by 9 October 2022 that promote open societies or reduce the impact of climate change.

This was published under the 2022 Truss Conservative government

The British Embassy in Bratislava invites Slovak non-profit organisations to submit proposals for projects of up to 5,000 euros that will:

  • promote open societies, either through:
    • supporting effective and transparent governance, robust democratic institutions and the rule of law
    • promoting social inclusion and gender equality
    • defending universal human rights, or
  • reduce the impacts of climate change and enhance biodiversity

Bids can focus on one or several of these topics. Successful bidders will be expected to provide end-to-end delivery of their proposals, including regular updates, as agreed in advance with the embassy.

We can consider co-funded activity but you should make clear in any proposal if this is the case and the details of any co-funding.

All project activity must be complete and project completion reports submitted by 17 March 2023.
