ORIO
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),
operation and maintenance 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 for the ORIO Grant
Facility 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 of the EVD is free of obligation.
