The Scottish Government today announced the opening of its new grants round under its Malawi Development Programme.
This call, which comes on the twelfth anniversary of the signing of the co-operation agreement between the Governments of Scotland and Malawi incorporates some new features. Grants can now be made up to a maximum of £300,000 and extend for a period of up to 4.5 years.
The Malawi Development Programme fits within the development assistance programme, the first and largest element in the Scottish Government’s £10m International Development Fund, one means by which it implements its International Development Strategy.
Welcoming the announcement, David Hope-Jones, CEO of the Scotland Malawi partnership said: "Since 2005 we've seen this programme deliver significant impact; helping transform the lives of a great many by working in dignified partnership with our friends and partners in Malawi."
