15.12.2014
Уряд Великобританії оголошує конкурс грантів в рамках програми з фінансової підтримки проектів урядової та економічної реформ, в тому числі боротьби з корупцією та покращення умов для ведення бізнесу (далі - англ.).
The UK government is providing reform assistance to Ukraine to support its economic development and political stability. This includes assistance to the Ukrainian government, civil society and the business community to build a democratic and accountable government and a healthier economy.
The UK-UA: Reform Assistance programme, delivered byPricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on behalf of the UK government, is running a call for grant proposals.
This call for proposals invites applications, falling under two priorities:
- good governance, accountability and transparency, with a particular focus on tackling and preventing corruption
- implementation of economic reforms, with a particular focus on proposals to support an improved business climate
Funding will be awarded through a competitive process to Ukrainian and international non-governmental organisations (including both not-for-profit and for-profit organisations, as well as consortia of organisations).
Decisions on which applications will receive funding will be made by the British Embassy Kyiv in co-ordination with the UK-UA Project Management Unit (PMU).
Successful bids must primarily demonstrate strong strategic relevance to the priorities identified above, added value and sustainability. We seek proposals with the budget ranging between £100,000 and £200,000.
We anticipate that projects will start in April 2015 and will be carried out in Ukraine during 2015-2016 (ending 31 March 2016). Please note the possibility of an extension until end of July 2016, subject to results achieved in year one.
Applications will go through two stages of review:
-
an eligibility review. This is a pass/fail test and covers non-financial and financial considerations. Those applications which pass this test will then go forward to:
-
a selection review, which is a scoring in more detail, according to a transparent set of selection criteria.
Eligibility criteria
We invite applications from organisations led by or including a Ukrainian partner with:
- a demonstrated reputation for high quality work in the types of activities identified above
- a track record of effective delivery in former Soviet Union countries
- ability to work in Russian and Ukrainian languages
