Call for applicants for the Japan Water Forum Fund 2007
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The Japan Water Forum is pleased to invite grass-roots organizations in
developing countries to apply for the Japan Water Forum Fund 2007.

This Fund was created for awarding grants to grass-roots organizations in
developing countries involved in water-related activities. We will provide

limited to once a year for each selected organization.

"Grass-roots activities" are activities planned and faithfully implemented
by grass-roots organizations to bring about an appreciable improvement upon
the current water issues. These activities include various projects,
awareness-raising campaigns, publicity activities to promote citizens
participation and educational programs for capacity building on
water-related issues: water supply; sanitation; water-related diseases;
irrigation; drainage; dams; river and lake basins; wetlands; groundwater;
poverty; and gender.
