ACP EU Project Assistance

Coote Harvard can assist SMEs in ACP countries with application and management of projects that are part grant aided through the EU PRO’INVEST and CDE funds.

Coote Harvard works with the International Development Group to provide a comprehensive funding application and management service for groups and companies eligible for African Caribbean Pacific (ACP) funding programmes administered by the European Union.

With our process of pre-authorisation with the relevant fund administration team, we have a 100% success record in achieving successful applications. We stay involved with your project throughout, to the level that you require, assisting you in meeting critical reporting requirements successfully.

Your first project is a learning experience, and we assist you in understanding and complying with rigorous financial and reporting guidelines.

Up to two thirds funding is available for eligible projects which enables you to leverage your own funds very effectively.

Eligible activities include:

• Strengthening the output of intermediary organisations
• Business development activity
• Lobbying and communication meetings and conferences
• Training and development
