COSV in Albania, as the lead partner of the EU-funded project TOKA JONE, is launching the Social Agriculture Development Fund (SADF) sub-granting scheme to promote the sustainable reuse of confiscated assets to benefit vulnerable groups at risk of exclusion. The main aim of the CfP will be to develop innovative social agriculture initiatives re-using confiscated assets as a means to promote socio-economic development, and use of agricultural land through community–based social farming services.
Applications are now open for start-ups, NGOs such as membership-based organizations, foundations, centres, Social Enterprises, etc., based in Albania, which operate in the following sectors:
- Agriculture and Rural Development through Social Farming;
- Environmental Protection and Mitigation of Climate Change’s effects on Agriculture;
- Gender Mainstreaming in Rural Areas;
- Promotion of Rule of Law and Good Governance;
- Human Rights and Social Protection;
Sub-grants of up to €60.000 will be awarded to help socially reuse of the agricultural land confiscated from crime in the regional areas of Tirana and Durres.
Financial support to third parties will cover 100% of their eligible costs (i.e. no co-financing will be required from third parties).
