The application round for Nordic Council of Ministers’ funding programme for NGOs in the Baltic Sea Region 2016 is now open for applicants. Priority areas are projects concerning environmental issues, democracy development, network building and cross-border co-operation. The deadline for submitting applications is on May 31, 2016.

Last year a total of 14 NGO-projects in the Baltic Sea Region received funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers. One of them was KID (Kindergartens in Development), a project aiming to give equal opportunities for pre-school girls and boys.

NGOs are invited to apply for funding from the programme for international co-operation projects. An annual budget of approximately DKK 6 million has been earmarked for the programme.
