Description
Name of client: Pro€Invest
Pro€Invest is an EU-ACP programme for the promotion of investment and technology flows into the ACP countries. The programme was launched in 2002 with a completion date of March 2011. As part of the activities, the programme launched a series of calls for grant applications in which private sector and civil society organisations of ACP and EU countries could propose relevant projects for funding. However, the number of high-level project proposals exceeded the budget available for grant funding under the Pro€Invest programme. The objective of this project therefore was to organise an auction floor in Brussels in which promoters of those projects which could not be funded under the Pro€Invest programme could present their proposed projects to other donors and possibly obtain financial support.
As part of the project BKP Development experts were involved the following activities:
-
Discussing projects with project promoters;
-
Identifying, contacting and discussion projects with donors;
-
Preparing a catalogue of proposed projects;
-
Facilitating sessions and bilateral meetings at the Auction Floor in Brussels on 22-23 November 2010.
