Funding for initiatives aimed at averting crises, maintaining stability, and fostering peace
The German Foreign Office has announced funding opportunities for projects aimed at crisis prevention, stabilization, and peace promotion in fragile contexts affected by armed or violent conflicts. The funding concept will remain valid until the end of 2025.
The funding area encompasses measures and instruments that serve different proportions of crisis prevention, stabilization, and peace promotion. It follows the logic of conflict phases, with transitions being dynamic, often not clearly defined, and context-specific.
Eligible for funding are various types of expenditures, and there are no specific restrictions on who can receive funding. Compatibility with structural development cooperation should be considered in all funding areas.
Applications for funding should be accompanied by a pre-inquiry or sketch of the planned project, and a complete application should be submitted at least 12 weeks before the project start date. Applications can be sent to [email protected] and [email protected].
Measures that do not align with the purpose of the funding area are excluded. The funding area focuses primarily on countries or regions outside of Germany that are either affected by or threatened by armed conflicts. Expenditures for evaluations are also eligible.
It is important to note that funding for humanitarian aid and development cooperation measures is excluded. The Principles of Integrated Peace Engagement apply, and the specific selection of intervention areas is based on the foreign and security policy priorities of the Federal Foreign Office.
Project durations should not exceed three years. The funding concept for Democracy Assistance is also in effect. The funding concept for Crisis Prevention, Conflict Resolution, and Stabilization is in effect, and it is crucial to ensure that all projects contribute to crisis prevention, stabilization, and peace promotion in fragile contexts affected by armed or violent conflicts.
