The deadline for applications is October 7, 2024, at 12:00 noon CET. Each organization can apply for up to DKK 1 million to support their efforts in the flood crisis response.
The Danish embassy in Manila has shared the funding opportunity on their Facebook page, urging Civil Society Organizations to apply for flood funding relief.
Civil Society Organizations working in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are also eligible to apply for flood relief funding.
Multiple countries in South and Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Myanmar, and the Philippines, have experienced extreme flooding following Typhoon Yagi, resulting in hundreds of deaths and the evacuation of thousands.
