Published on 29 July, AFD’s call brought French and locally governed organisations into a shared shortlisting process. Project intentions had to be submitted through OSCar by 9 October 2026. The call is closed.

Our perspective

Its documentation remains useful when preparing for future cycles: check eligibility, organise administrative records and define expected results.
