The Facility for Infrastructure Development is funded by the Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation to encourage public infrastructure development in developing countries.
ORIO contributes to the development, implementation (construction and/or expansion) and exploitation of public infrastructure in developing countries. Governments may submit a grant application to ORIO. This can be done on the initiative of a private party. Applications which meet the criteria are evaluated in competition. The winning applications will be eligible for a grant. The remaining part must be financed by the local government in some other way; for example, from its own resources, a commercial loan, or funds provided by development banks.
This site tells you which procedure you need to follow to submit an application, the criteria on the basis of which the EVD selects project ideas and which countries are eligible for the programme. For country-specific ORIO application forms, the Policy Rules Grant facility ORIO and other documents applicable to your country, select the relevant country from the country list. Are you interested in an individual meeting with a project advisor in order to discuss your project idea? Complete the intake form. This service from the EVD is free of obligation.
