Follow-up support
TBA Small grant scheme for alumni groups
The TBA Small Grant Scheme provides ground-breaking support
to TBA alumni groups to assist them with their conservation projects and
to strengthen their proficiency in natural resource management and research.
Every year, we will give grants of up to UK£1,500 for projects that show
clear and measurable impacts.
Applications
for the 2012 small grants to be announced soon
We hope that this scheme will help build capacity of our
African alumni by stimulating them to network more and to engage in collaborative
Biological or Conservation projects.
The closing date is 30th April each year.
See instructions
for applicants. Please contact TBA's
Project Officer in the Nairobi office for inquiries, comments and information
on how to apply.
