Faorome 1% for development fund

The FAO Rome 1% For Development Fund assigns one percent of its members’ salaries to finance small scale development projects and would be happy to receive requests for funding from community-based beekeeping projects in developing countries. The 1% Fund provides small grants to enable projects to get off the ground, but leaves the project implementation to the communities themselves. The applicants must clearly define their objectives and how they are to be attained.

They are also expected to assemble all resources available within the group such as manual labour, tools or raw materials.

Updates on project progress along with photographs are encouraged so that 1% Fund members can be informed of progress via the 1% Fund web site: www.one-percent-fund.net/. This is in addition to formal reports on progress after 12 months.
