INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The underlying principle of PISCCA is to encourage innovative projects carried out by promising small and medium-sized CSOs, whose members strive to implement new ideas and want to make a difference in their community. Specifically, PISCCA aims at funding small-scale projects and local initiatives which contribute to:

  • Bringing about concrete and positive change in the life of beneficiaries and communities;
  • Strengthening the capacities of both beneficiaries and the Nigerian civil society;
  • Promoting social, economic and cultural rights;
  • Fostering networking and synergies between stakeholders in the field.

To build the capacity of local CSOs and foster networking, the PISCCA programme also include a capacity building training for the organizations supported.

Created in 2016, two former PISCCA programmes have been implemented by the French Embassy. The first PISCCA implemented between 2017 and 2018 has funded four projects and the second PISCCA programme implemented between 2019 and 2020 has funded 12 projects. 2.2 Presentation of the PISCCA projects funded in 2022
