The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI)- Cambodia is a CIDA-funded program, currently administered
from the Canadian Cooperation Office in Phnom Penh. For this fiscal year 2009/2010 it has a budget of Cdn$ 125,000
(approx. 100,000USD), and an overall goal to assist with the economic and social development of communities. To complement
CIDA’s bilateral programming in Cambodia, the primary objective of the Canada Fund will be to assist in meeting the basic
human needs of impoverished people. Within the context of addressing basic human needs, the Canada Fund this fiscal year
will be used to support projects that will address
Land Rights, Food Security and Income Generation of Cambodia’s rural men
and women.
The Canada Fund is now calling for proposals from NGOs and/or CBOs that are committed to working with Cambodia’s rural
communities. The proposal should address at least one of the above objectives with a proposed budget between 10,000US
to 25,000USD.
Interested NGOs/CBOs may obtain the Project Application Form and other relevant information could be downloaded from the
website: www.cco-cambodia.org or from the Canadian Cooperation Office (CCO) located at: # 50, St. 334, Boeung Keng Kang I,

The deadline for the submission of proposals is 5 PM on 31 May 2009. The proposals will be assessed by the Project Review
Committee, which will be set up by CCO. Only short-listed NGOs/CBOs will be contacted for further discussion.
