Criteria for support

The World Diabetes Foundation provides financial support to projects in developing countries included in Part I of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) List of Aid Recipients as at 1 January 2006.

The project must:

• describe a realistic and controllable project with focus on diabetes
• require minimum funding from the World Diabetes Foundation for infrastructure, and 
• be sustainable or long-term, which means that it must be able to continue after the funding from the World Diabetes Foundation has ended.  

This may be ensured by:

• having one or more reliable partners involved
• involving a local champion in the project
• obtaining co-funding from other partners
• obtaining the political goodwill of the country/area in question

The World Diabetes Foundation does in principle not support bricks and buildings, basic laboratory research, travel grants or training grants.
