No, applicant can submit only one application within the call as the main applicant. (as it is stated in Call for Proposals )

3.Can schools apply for a project?

According to the Call for Proposals schools can submit project application.

4. What documents has to prepare the co-partner organization? What is the mechanism of their participation in application?

The main applicant will just prepare the short and basic information about the co-partner organization – name, the type of organization, field of work. After the approval of the project, GaMCon team will request the confirmation of registration from applicant and all its partners. In case it will be the group of natural persons, GaMCon team will request their confirmation of registration as the interest groups/civil association etc. The information about the applicant is the most important for us. Provided that applicant will have the partners, very clear and specific contract stating the roles and responsibilities as well as financial aspects of participation between applicant and the partner will be the annex to the main contract between the applicant and GaMCon.

5. When will be transfer the remainig 30% of the amount?

We will transfer 70% of the amount to the organization at the beginning and the remaining 30% will be transfer only after the implementation of the whole project – in other words, after the successful applicant spends 100 % of the funds. In the meantime, applicant may finance the project from their own resources. Only the properly reported (bank statements, contracts, bills) will be reimbursed (There will be the zero tolerance policy for any overpricing contract – in other words, if something usually costs in reality 1000 MDL and contract will be for 1300 MLD such cost will be the subject of closer review). We encourage the recipients to do the all financial transfers via bank and limit the cash operations to minimum (5-10 % of the overall budget).

6. Constructions of objects require project documents/plans/schemes, is it possible to cover it from grant’s budget?

The construction documents/plans/schemes needed for construction and repairing of some objects can be part of the project proposal and financially covered from grant´s budget. It is however necessary to state in the project proposal, that preparation of those documents will be part of the project. It is necessary to be very careful with calculations and proposals as there is no possibility with increasing the budget after the contract is signed and additionally – no reimbursements, when the activities and indicators are not met at the end of the project.
