Grants Available under NSAC

 NSAC has two grant windows to support activities that address governance challenges in key reform areas:

1. Thematic Grants that support innovative social accountability and governance projects in Cambodia.
2. Partnership Grants that extend and support the work of the DFGG state institutions.

Both grant windows strengthen citizen demand for good governance by supporting access to information, formal and informal opportunities for citizen participation in sub-national government, and partnerships between state institutions and citizens.

Both grant windows are open to all registered NSAs in Cambodia. Partnership grants, however, will target NSAs with experience and interest in working with the DFGG state institutions.

Grants are available in two sizes:

1. medium-sized grants are up to $70,000;
2. and large-sized grants range from $70,001 to $250,000.

Grants Window 1: Thematic Grants

The thematic grants window will: (i) support enhanced engagement with the commune/sangkat and district/khan councils in sub-national planning and project implementation and (ii) strengthen local education and health service delivery through targeted social accountability tools.
