Micro – Grants Amounts not exceeding Tshs. 10.0 mil
EAMCEF provides some of its available resources for micro-grants to support small-scale efforts within each of the project categories described above. Micro-grants can also be provided to conduct feasibility studies and analyses.
Micro-grant project proposals are subject to internal EAMCEF merit review and finally governed by the decision of the Executive Director. The maximum award amount does not exceed Tshs. 10.0 million. The Project’s duration is normally six months, but may go up to one year.
Medium or Discrete Project Grants Amounts exceeding Tshs. 10 mil and up to Tshs. 100 mil per annum
EAMCEF supports discrete, one-time projects whose project life does generally not extend more than 36 months (three years) within the three project categories. Generally a project will not exceed Tshs. 100 million per annum and will most likely average between Tshs. 10 mil and Tshs. 50 mil. per year. Discrete project proposals are subject to review by EAMCEF as well as an external technical team. All proposals under this category must be approved by the Board of Trustees prior to actual funding.
Multi-Year Programme Grants Amounts exceeding Tshs.10.0 mil and up to Tshs. 100.0 mil per year
EAMCEF provides multi-year funding for projects, or programmes, that will require above three years to yield results or which require multiple year funding to ensure sustainability and achievement of objectives. As with discrete projects, EAMCEF has set a maximum of up to Tshs. 100 million per year for multi-year projects. Multi-year Project Proposals are subject to review by EAMCEF as well as an external technical team. The Board of Trustees must approve all proposals under this category.
