CPA Small Branches - Regional Initiative Fund

About the CPA Small Branches Regional Initiative Fund

The CPA Small Branches Regional Initiative Fund is a reserve of funding established by the CPA Secretariat in 2019 with the aim of adding value to the operations of small jurisdictions. 

The Fund seeks to address technical areas related to the functioning of small legislatures, prioritising initiatives delivered principally through a Clerk exchange. Examples of initiatives may include parliamentary practice and procedure, alleviating resource constraints and improving access to information. 

Fund structure and how to apply

The Fund for 2024 is 10,000 GBP, from which up to 2 Small Branches may claim up to 5,000 GBP each to support efforts toward improving the technical functioning of the legislature.

The tendering period for 2024 has now closed.
