The High Commission of Canada in Guyana and Suriname is pleased to launch its annual call for proposals for the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) for 2024-2025. The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada’s thematic priority areas for engagement. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Eligible recipients include:

Local, national or community-based organization (non-governmental and not-for-profit)

Local municipal, regional or national government institution or agency of the recipient country

Canadian organization (non-governmental or not-for-profit) that is working on local development activities

International or regional organization (non-governmental or not-for-profit) that is working on local development activities

Intergovernmental or multilateral institution, organization or agency working on local development activities

The majority of CFLI funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations may be eligible for funding, provided they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with the objectives of the CFLI. Similarly, municipal, regional and national government institutions may receive funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature. The CFLI is always looking to fund innovative projects that deliver measurable results.
