The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Call for 2014 applications (phase 1/ prequalification) is out and it differs from previous calls as follows:

With a growing global population of more than 7 billion people, Green Growth with a pro-poor focus becomes more than just a business idea; it is a most needed survival strategy. How do we satisfy the need for growth and development while ensuring a sustainable use of natural resources?

The course addresses the specific challenges facing civil society organisations: The representation of the poor and marginalised in relation to public policies for poverty eradication, the fight for improved representative and participatory democracy.
