Applications are now open for the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives – Liberia 2026 (up to $49,000 CAD). This grant offers funding from $20,000 to $49,000 CAD for small-scale, high-impact local projects. The deadline comes soon on March 27, 2026. Local groups in Liberia can apply for projects that make a real difference in their communities. This article covers program details, who can apply, how to submit, and key links to get started.
The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, or CFLI, helps projects in developing countries like Liberia. These projects must match Global Affairs Canada’s thematic priority areas. That includes things like inclusive governance, gender equality, and peace and security. Local partners design and run most of the work. The Canadian embassy to Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia picks and approves the projects. The goal is to build up civil society groups. CFLI looks for fresh ideas that show clear results people can measure.
