Funding opportunities for municipal partnerships

Providing personnel and financial support for your partnership project

Are you interested in establishing a cooperation with a municipality in the Global South or intensifying the cooperation through a new project, but your municipal resources are limited? We offer you various options for financial and personnel support.

The Service Agency Communities in One World (SKEW) supports your municipal partnership project. We offer you different funding opportunities: they range from the financing of smaller and even larger project ideas to the funding of staff positions – for example through the placement of international experts in your partner municipality. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
