The Civil Society Fund Plus Programme
The Civil Society Fund Plus (CSF+) is a 4-year EU-funded programme aimed at enhancing the capacity and civic space of local and grassroots CSOs in Tigray, South Ethiopia and Central Ethiopia Regions and Addis Ababa City Administration to engage them as credible actors of good governance and development. The total programme value is €4,046,471 with the EU financing 85% and Christian Aid (CA) financing 15% from internal sources. The action will target 60 local and grassroots CSOs through direct sub-granting, 120 through tailored capacity strengthening and 430 indirectly benefiting through network building activities. These local and grassroot CSOs and networks will be enabled to implement locally led initiatives reaching 120,000 community members focusing on Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). The programme successfully completed its first-round pre-granting phase, with 20 sub-grantees awarded grants and started project implementation in March 2026 across 3 regional states and Addis Ababa. The programme is now launching a second-round call for concept note to select an additional 20 local and grassroots CSOs in the same thematic and geographic areas.
