Bilateral Programme Budget (BPB):

  The BPB is used to fund smaller scale projects up to £30,000, and events that will contribute to the Embassy's objectives to encourage sustainable development. The aim is to meet the needs of Iraqi communities throughout Iraq.   The BPB has limited funds available and submitting a project however will not mean a guarantee of funding, as the project will be evaluated under the BPB policy and strategic objectives

Under the BPB funded programme, interested applicants must: 

be a non-profit organisation (individuals are not eligible)
be directly responsible for the preparation and management of the project
demonstrate at least two years of experience and capacity to manage activities corresponding to the size of the project for which funding is requested

the project life cycle must not exceed 31 March 2010 (the end of the UK financial year); all funds should be disbursed by that date

it will be a one off grant, cannot be used to fund the running costs of an organisation, nor support any recurring costs in future year
