We define International NGO’s as organisations who are affiliated as a dependent branch to an overseas based organisation. If your organisation falls into this category you will only be eligible to apply for a grant as part of a consortia.
If your organisation is affiliated to an overseas organisation but operates as a fully Independent organisation within Uganda and is fully registered as such, you will be considered eligible to apply in your own right but would encourage you to work with a local organisation as part of a consortia to increase their exposure to good working practices.
Consortia: We welcome and encourage organisations to work together.
When two or more Independent organisations apply for a grant for a project on which they will work together, we treat them as a consortium.
There are two main types of consortium and we treat them differently.
- An informally-constituted consortium, made up of a number of organisations that have come together to work on a project for which they are applying for a grant. Please read part six of this guide, Consortium applications, for information on how to apply.
- A consortium with an Independent constitution that is set up by member organisations.
Commercial enterprises: We cannot make grants where the main beneficiary is a commercial enterprise.
Organisations applying on behalf of another: You should not apply on behalf of another organisation. This is because organisations, if awarded a grant, must answer to us for the way in which they spend the grant. So it is essential that the organisation which makes the application is the same organisation which receives the funding.
We treat this type of consortium like any other individual organisation applying for a grant. We will take account of the experience and knowledge of the organisations in the consortium when we assess the application. Part six of this guide does not apply to this type of consortium.
