The Agitos Foundation has announced the 29 grantees of the seventh edition of its Grant Support Programme (GSP), which makes available grants of up to EUR 40,000 to IPC Members.
A total of 74 applications were submitted to the Agitos Foundation and 66 were eligible for reviewing, with 19 National Paralympic Committees (NPCs), eight International Federations (IFs) and two International Organisation of Sport for the Disabled (IOSDs) being selected.
NPCs Ivory Coast (Para powerlifting), Myanmar (goalball) and Norway (Para ice hockey) will be grantees of the programme for the first time. Since 2013, 67 NPCs, five Regional Organisations (ROs), 20 IFs and three IOSDs have received GSP grants.
Some of the highlights from the 2019 edition include the initiatives led by Brazil, El Salvador, Netherlands and Norway, all focused on increasing the number of female participants in Para sport.
Similarly to other developed NPCs, which are encouraged to submit collaborative proposals, NPC Angola has taken a mentorship role in a proposal to increase the organisational capacity of other Portuguese-speaking African countries – Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Agitos Foundation is supporting initiatives to offer Para sport opportunities to refugees and internally displaced persons. The Hellenic Paralympic Committee will expand its long-standing initiative with refugees to a collaborative project with France, Serbia, Portugal, Spain and Austria, while the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) will offer Para sport opportunities in refugee camps in Jordan.
Rita van Driel, Agitos Foundation Executive Committee Chairperson, said:
“The Agitos Foundation is very proud to see how much the IPC Membership has achieved in the last seven years thanks to the Grant Support Programme. We are particularly glad to see three National Paralympic Committees being granted for the first time, and so many initiatives focused on enhancing the participation of women in Para sport.”
