The Commonwealth Foundation has announced the opening of its annual grants call.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Grants of up to \u00a350,000 are available in support of innovative project ideas that seek to strengthen the ability of civic voices to engage with governments and that have the potential to improve governance and development outcomes through their active participation.

Director-General of the Commonwealth Foundation, Vijay Krishnarayan said: \u2018Our grant making recognises the connection between people’s voices being heard and better development outcomes. Our focus is on less heard voices so that institutions and policies truly leave no one behind\u2019
<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Commonwealth Foundation\u2019s grants programme manager, Comfort Osilaja said: \u2018Since 2012, the Commonwealth Foundation has awarded over 70 grants to civil society organisations across the Commonwealth, strengthening citizen\u2019s participation in governance at local, national and regional level.
