Active Partners Small Grants 2006: Request for Proposals

The Global Transparency Initiative (GTI), a network of civil society organizations promoting transparency at the international financial institutions (IFIs), provides small grants for organizations and individuals in developing countries already involved in IFI transparency issues and interested in playing an active role in the GTI. Small grants of between US$ 500 - 5,000 will be awarded to successful applicants.

The GTI welcomes proposals for a range of activities which focus on IFI transparency issues, for example, case studies about the negative consequences of a lack of transparency by IFIs or the positive effects of transparency by such institutions.

Proposals must be submitted in English however successful applicants may use the grant to conduct and produce their work in other languages. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis and applicants will be notified within 8 weeks of submitting their proposals.

Interested organizations and individuals must complete the Small Grants Proposal Form. Also available as a PDF document.
