Canada Fund for Local Initiatives 2026-2027 Call for Proposals

Government of Canada

The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) supports small-scale but high-impact projects in developing countries, aligning with Canada's international assistance priorities. Projects are conceived and designed predominantly by local partners, with average contributions of CAD $15,000-$20,000 per project and typical duration of six months. Priority is given to local civil society organizations, and projects must address thematic priorities such as gender equality, inclusive governance, inclusive growth, and environment and climate action.
