Objectives of the Program
The aim of the Support to Rural Development Programme is to support poor farmers and their families to improve the productivity of their land and increase their output and incomes on condition that they participate and comply with measures that support good agriculture practices related to the use of land and water (both in terms of quantity and quality), adopt appropriate land use measures, invest in appropriate recommended technologies, knowledge transfer and the preservation of biodiversity, including the mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change.
Global Objective of the Call for Proposals
To contribute to poverty reduction and socio-economic development of the rural poor through measures aimed to protect, preserve and increase land productivity, create employment and generate incomes.
Specific Objective of the Call for Proposals
The specific objective of this Call for Proposals is to demonstrate and establish the modality of conditional incentive-based development as an approach to poverty reduction and growth in the rural areas of Egypt. It aims to provide direct and tangible benefits to the population demonstrating a better use of government resources. This would contribute to the adoption of a new paradigm for rural development that would be the basis for a rural development policy/strategy for the country.
This grant addresses three priority activity areas:
1. Area 1: Natural Resource Management
2. Area 2: Better Management of Agricultural Practices
3. Area 3: Strengthening Local Institutional Capabilities
Expected Results
1. Increased outputs and incomes from a combination of better cropping practices, increased water availability, improved land development and reduced environmental degradation at the farm level.
2. Enhanced job creation and income generation capacities; permanent jobs are created within the rural Union with a sustainable impact on income generation
3. Improved living conditions in the target areas through the improvement of existing social infrastructure.

Priorities
1. Partnerships and/or networking of non government organisations, community based organisations, and other relevant stakeholders are encouraged under this programme.
2. Emphasis should be given to strengthening and supporting local civil society organisations, building their capacity so as to ensure continuity and sustainability of the actions;
3. Proposals for activities that aim to facilitate inter-community involvement and promoting conflict mitigation are particularly encouraged.
4. Beneficiary and target group participation at the project design stage is encouraged and proposals should explicitly incorporate this as a part of project activities.
5. Applicants must – wherever possible – consider close collaboration and/or coordination with ongoing EU funded actions so as to enhance the potential for sustainability and synergies of interventions and maximise the benefits for the communities involved in a harmonized manner.
