How much should each project cost?
Successful projects will receive grants of up to £500,000 per year (THB 23 million). Applicants should propose projects of up to 25 months in duration. Projects will be selected through a one-stage open and competitive call for proposals.
We encourage proposals that can strategically address and combine multiple interventions under one thematic area. Applicants are expected to strategically address one thematic area within one proposal.
Each proposal will be assessed independently.
How long can each project be?
All projects should aim to last up to 25 months, beginning as soon as November 2024 and ending in December 2026. The proposals must have a clear indication of the outcomes and impacts expected to be achieved in the first year of implementation, as well as in the second year of implementation. We are looking for partners with the ability to be flexible and adapt to deliver against additional demands that may come over the course of a project. We expect any multi-year projects to be designed based on demand and consultation with stakeholders in the transportation sector.
Can a consortium apply?
Yes, we welcome applications from consortia. For-profit and non-for-profit organisations can apply as lead organisation. All consortia must have at least one local partner. The local organisation does not need to be the consortium lead. A local partner is defined as an organisation that operates in Thailand under a National Register of Legal Entities. For-profit organisations can apply, but all projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis. Government agencies and/or departments are not eligible to apply either as a lead organisation, or as a partner organisation within consortium.
What type of organisations can apply?
All organisations that consider themselves capable of delivering the project activities presented may submit proposals, considering aspects such as cost-effectiveness, project management, impacts on GEDSI (Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion), technical capacity of the organisation or proposing consortium. For-profit organisations can apply, but all projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis. Government agencies and/or departments are not eligible to apply either as a lead organisation, or as a partner organisation within consortium.
What types of costs are eligible?
All projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis. Eligible costs will include:
- Consultancy and/or staff time required to deliver activities;
- Reasonable travel and subsistence costs;
- Other costs directly related to activities and outputs (workshop, seminars, production of reports, translation etc.).
We cannot award funding for tangible assets e.g. computer and furniture. For further details, please refer to the UK PACT Applicant Handbook & Budget Template which reflect FCDO grants management rules applicable to this programme.
