Grants Handbook for Civil Society and Other Private Actors

This section on Norad’s webpages provides potential applicants for funding from Norad and existing grant recipients with an overview of the main expectations as well as legal and financial rules applicable to project/programme grants from Norad. These pages are relevant for civil society organisations and other private actors such as research institutes and private sector entities.

Note that the information on this webpage is not exhaustive and applicants are therefore asked to carefully review the call for proposals and any documentation shared by Norad, specifically grant agreements, and direct communication with Norad staff. The grant agreement constitutes the legal basis for a grant. This text in these Guidelines is not legally binding.
