Discussion details
I have the pleasure to inform you that the intra-ACP Tradecom II Programme, supported by the ACP SEC and the EU, has published a call for proposals for grants.
The purpose of the Tradecom II programme is to enhance the capacity of ACP countries to formulate and implement suitable trade policies; assist ACP countries to implement EPAs, regional and international trade agreements to their benefit; and strengthen ACP Private sector competitiveness by supporting trade facilitation and trade promotion.
The call aims at enhancing sustainable North-South, South-South and Intra-ACP trade research and capacity building actions. The priorities are to support:
-
activities and actions of the ACP trade-related capacity-building organisations for implementation of the EPAs and WTO agreements;
-
trade-related training and research activities in ACP countries;
-
trade-related programmes of ACP business associations (chambers of commerce, Farmers’ associations, confederation of industries, producers’ associations, professional associations, etc.) in the area of trade;
-
the networking activities of trade-related think-tanks and similar organisations
A maximum budget of 14.4 mio EUR is available for grants sizing between 1 and 3 mio EUR. Costsharing of at least 20% is required.
