How to identify NGO Funding Opportunities among Bilateral Agencies

There are several sources of grant opportunities available for NGOs from government to grant making foundations to multilaterals and to bilateral. Bilateral agencies are official aid agencies of developed countries providing financial assistance to NGOs and governmental agencies in developing countries. Although a substantial part of this aid is reserved for governments in developing countries, yet the official policies of many of these bilateral agencies require mandatory allocation of budgets for supporting civil society organizations directly. NGOs often ignore this potential source of funding and here we are providing some guidance information on how to identify this funding and apply for support.
