  • Closing date: 25 October 2026

Who is eligible?

Returning migrants building or growing enterprises in Côte d’Ivoire

Côte d’Ivoire only

Important conditions and exclusions

This is a returnee-specific enterprise call, not a general grant for every Ivorian NGO. Verify migrant-returnee status, programme eligibility, application method and required documents.

Check whether the programme is a directly accessible grant, an individual award, a research-specific call or an accelerator. Being an African nonprofit or working in the subject area does not automatically make an applicant eligible. Where funding is stated as an average or total programme budget, do not assume it is available to one applicant.

How to prepare

  • Identify the correct eligible applicant or lead researcher and confirm legal registration or relevant institutional affiliation.
  • Write an evidence-based statement of the specific problem and why the proposed solution is credible.
  • Develop realistic outputs, milestones, implementation costs, measurement indicators and an appropriate governance or ethics plan.
  • Obtain genuine partner endorsements, references, host invitations or research approvals wherever the funder’s current documents require them.
  • Read the exact official terms and application templates and submit in time for the stated deadline and time zone.

Project fit and useful next actions

A sound application should show a close match to returnee entrepreneurship, reintegration, sustainable livelihoods, a proportionate budget and evidence that the applicant can do what it proposes. Identify the most consequential eligibility restriction before spending time on detailed drafting. Do not use generic proposal material where the funder requires technical methods or a specialist portfolio.
