About Smart Grants

We are committed to providing you with summary guidance on our grants and partnership management processes and procedures.

FCS has made some drastic changes in its grant-making procedures. The changes have taken into account various commitments and observations, including the lessons learned from the previous strategy, stakeholders’ views through an external evaluation of the FCS’ strategy 2016-2020, and commitments in the new strategy 2022-2026. FCS intends to ensure that Partner recruitment and engagement are conducted in a fair, transparent, efficient, and cost-effective manner to achieve Value-for-Money in all transactions and respond to the evolving needs of its partners both downstream and upstream and deal with emerging risks.

We, therefore, urge all partners to carefully read this summary and if need be, the entire FCS Partner Recruitment and Engagement Guide available on our publications – ‘other reports page’ to be able to understand fully the granting procedures. We wish to ensure that all partners understand our eligibility criteria, grant-making and partnership procedures before putting in any application to FCS. To ensure efficiency and transparency of our procedures, all grant-making processes will be done online through the link below
