PROJAF: An Opportunity to Strengthen the Associative Fabric in Cape Verde
PROJAF This represents a strategic boost for the development of associations in Cape Verde. This funding program, designed to support innovative projects in the associative sector, emerges as a response to the needs of organizations working for the benefit of local communities. By allocating financial resources to initiatives with social, cultural, or environmental impact, PROJAF aims not only to strengthen the operational capacity of these entities but also to stimulate more active participation from civil society in building a sustainable future for the archipelago.
Who Can Benefit?
Legally constituted associations in Cape Verde, with registered statutes and proven activity in the last two years, are eligible for this support. The program prioritizes projects that align with national priorities, such as:
- Promoting youth and social inclusion;
- Environmental sustainability and adaptation to climate change;
- Promoting culture, education, and gender equality;
- Social innovation and community entrepreneurship.
It is essential that proposals demonstrate clarity in their objectives, technical and financial feasibility, as well as potential for replicability or scalability.
