Proposals for the Forum's support should originate from an institution that has policy authority. Moreover, the requested support should be designed to improve corporate governance in low- or medium-income countries, while priorities are given to regional proposals. Our limited funding requires to be very selective with the projects, in which we involve ourselves, and which are targeted to deepening corporate governance at a local level. Please note that we do not provide funding for personal trips that are part of a conference, etc. Once the application is submitted, it will take about 2-6 weeks to complete the preliminary evaluation, upon which you will receive notification.
