Third call for proposals

For 2010, the Development Policy Review Network (DPRN) has a budget of € 300,000 to be spent on processes which are aimed at ongoing communication, debate and cooperation between experts from different sectors in the Netherlands and Flanders. The processes are to effectively result in policy reviews, increased cooperation and synergy, preferably in the form of policy-relevant research proposals and other follow-up actions. As in other years, DPRN intends to host six processes, one of which will be instigated by the DPRN Task Force. The call is for proposals to organise one of the other five processes, for which a maximum budget of € 50,000 is available. This call is open to all organisations based in the Netherlands and Flanders that belong to the DPRN target groups, i.e. research organisations, policy departments, development (branch) organisations, NGOs and businesses operating under a Corporate Social Responsibility banner. The involvement of Flemish organisations is a specific point of attention in this last call. The proposals should relate to a one-year process involving at least one meeting. Since this is the last call for proposals within DPRN’s second phase, subsidies are available for one-year processes only, which need to be completed before 31 December 2010. The deadline for applications in this third and last call is 7 December 2009, 9 a.m. For more information about the application requirements click here.
