For NGOs| Our offerings | Invest for Jobs

We support your project on site

While African countries increasingly offer attractive prospects for companies, well-trained and qualified specialists are urgently needed in many countries. Often there is a lack of opportunities to complete practical training and further education.

Together with German non-governmental organisations, stakeholders from the education sector and the private sector, we want to reduce these gaps in order to provide important incentives for sustainable growth and employment in our African partner countries. We support projects that bring people into employment, improve working conditions as well as income and increase the number of graduates in training measures.

If your non-governmental organisation would like to get involved in one of these areas, we are pleased to advise you on our funding opportunities. Also relevant are projects promoting the ecological and social sustainability of companies and business locations - including trade and industry.

Financial support

The project volume for funding is between 1 million and 3 million euros. The NGO’s own share of the project volume is 25 percent. The project duration is up to four years.

Are you interested in a cooperation?

Applications may be submitted by non-profit civil society organisations based and operating in Germany with at least three years' project experience which are already receiving funding from Engagement Global. This applies to you? Then we look forward to hearing from you.
