Grants

This component is an inclusive, demand-driven facility capable of rapidly mobilizing cooperative responses to the Programme’s activities. The Grants will complement the ad-hoc demand-led support provided under the Programme Estimate (PE) component with longer-term and locally anchored institutional capacity building.

The grants, through structured calls for proposals, will:

• Provide support to the ACP trade capacity building institutions that will form the cornerstone of locally anchored institutional capacity building;
• Facilitate North-South twinning for trade research and training (specialized providers of Trade Related Assistance – TRA - from EU Member States in partnership with ACP trade capacity building and research institutions (the beneficiaries);
• Facilitate South-South trade research and training cooperation arrangements also in partnership with ACP trade research and training institutions;
• Facilitate the build-up of trans-ACP trade research and training networks, thus facilitating reinforced complementarities at the intra-ACP level;
• Complement the demand-led PE’s components.
