Grants. UNDP now invites project proposals for this ground breaking
initiative.
The Innovative Partnership Grant (IPG) offers an opportunity to National

public-private partnerships at the local level; . Building local capacity
for public-private partnerships; . Designing and implementing innovative
partnership arrangements.

proposals will be evaluated by an independent selection committee and the
best and most innovative PPP projects will be awarded an Innovative
Partnership Grant. For further details please download the application
