Global Funding for Local Development: An Opportunity for Cape Verde
Grants from the Avery Dennison Foundation represent a crucial opportunity for non-governmental organisations and community projects in Cape Verde seeking to bring about transformative social and environmental change. The foundation is dedicated to supporting local initiatives in various countries, promoting the well-being of communities by encouraging innovation, sustainability and social equity.
Priority Areas for Support
The foundation’s grants and donations programme focuses on key areas for sustainable development, which are perfectly aligned with the needs of the Cape Verdean archipelago:
- Education and Training: Support for access to quality education, literacy projects and vocational skills development programmes for young people and adults.
- Environmental sustainability: Promoting initiatives aimed at the conservation of natural resources, the protection of marine and terrestrial biodiversity, efficient waste management and the fight against climate change.
- Community Empowerment: Encouraging initiatives that promote gender equality, social inclusion and the improvement of living conditions for vulnerable groups.
Expected impact in Cape Verde
For associations and non-profit organisations operating in Cape Verde, access to these funds enables them to get projects off the ground that often lack the financial resources to do so. Whether it is to strengthen the local economy, build the capacity of rural communities or protect the country’s sensitive ecosystems, international funding acts as a catalyst for long-term positive change.
Applications must set out a clear strategy and measurable targets, and demonstrate direct engagement with the beneficiary communities.
