The Water & Development Partnership Programme has launched a call for innovative, diverse and interdisciplinary project proposals that aim to strengthen low- and middle-income countries’ capacity to introduce socially inclusive and sustainable water management practices
The call is the programme’s first for medium-size projects, meaning that proposals should have a budget ranging from €100,000 to €400,000.
Launched over a decade ago, Water & Development Partnership Programme (formerly referred to as DUPC), has been nurturing a global community of scientists, practitioners and policymakers from over 40 countries, with the support of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The programme’s third phase finances projects that involve joint research, education, and knowledge sharing. The programme’s principles, focus and eligibility criteria for funding are described in detail here.
