Introduction to German Foundation for World Population
The German Foundation for World Population, (DSW), was
founded in 1991 with an aim of contributing towards sustainable

for the empowerment of individuals combined with a humane
decline in world population growth.
DSW aims at contributing to the dignity of women and men
throughout the world by promoting policies and implementing
action plans adopted in the Cairo Programme of Action (ICPD
1994).
DSW established a country office in May 2000 in Nairobi, Kenya,
and appointed a Country Director in May 2001. This office
coordinates programmes in both Kenya and Tanzania. In Kenya
and Tanzania DSW:
n
Focuses its project work on sexual and reproductive
health needs of adolescent using the Youth to Youth
concept with a special approach towards cross boarder
collaboration.
n
Supports the capacity – building of NGOs working in
the area of Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health.
n
Facilitates the implementation of innovative reproductive
health projects together with grassroots NGOs (with

Introduction to Tips & Tricks
In 1994, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD),
held in Cairo, set an internationally agreed agenda for the issues of sexual and
reproductive health, HIV / AIDS and population.
The EU has acted on this agenda by committing more than 780 million euros to
actions in line with ICPD objectives. However, the situation of the available budgets
with respect to population funding outside Europe is quite different: restricting
budgets is under discussion in the US, Africa and Asia.
As a result, the work of NGOs and governmental institutions in developing countries
may soon be affected to the extent that it might restrict budgets for family planning
activities worldwide, and even endanger the support for multilateral institutions
like the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and others.
For these reasons, it is of importance to secure the world – wide available resources
for implementing the programme of Action of the International Conference on
Population and Development, as well as to help developing countries, NGOs and
government institutions to identify and allocate funding for projects in this field.
Therefore, appropriate and full information about the various existing grant-giving
organisations in Kenya and Tanzania is necessary. Nairobi has remained the hub of
regional offices for most grant-giving organisations.
In serving governmental and non-governmental institutions worldwide, Tips and
Tricks on how to apply for the grants in Kenya and Tanzania for Sustainable
Development is intended to be a valuable resource to grant – seekers, as it will
provide a source of detailed and annually updated information on grant-giving
organisations existing in Kenya and Tanzania in the following areas:
1. Reproductive Health:
n
Safe motherhood.
n
Adolescent and sexual reproductive health.
n
HIV / AIDS.
2. Population and Development.
3. Women Empowerment / Gender.
4. Health Integrated projects.
Each of the entries gives contact information, a review of financial information and,
most importantly, detailed information about how to put in a proposal and how to
apply for funding.
