EUROPEAN UNION  

europa.eu.int/comm/research/era/index_en.html

 

Europe has a long standing tradition of excellence in research and innovation, and European teams continue to lead progress in many fields of science and technology. However our centres of excellence are scattered across the continent and all too often their efforts fail to add up in the absence of adequate networking and cooperation. In the past, collaborative actions have been initiated at European and Community level, but now is the time to bring our endeavours together and to build a research and innovation equivalent of the "common market" for goods and services. That structure is called the European Research Area and is regrouping all Community supports for the better coordination of research activities and the convergence of research and innovation policies, at national and EU levels.

FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL SERVICE  

www.fas.usda.gov

 

The major services of FAS -- market intelligence, access, and development; research, trade policy formulation and monitoring; food aid; and linkages -- will only gain in importance in the years ahead as U.S.agricultural exporters work to overcome international barriers and succeed in world markets.

 

 

FORD FOUNDATION  

www.fordfound.org

 

The Ford Foundation works mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison to societal needs, we focus on a limited number of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals.

 Since its inception it has been an independent, nonprofit, non-governmental organization. It has provided slightly more than $10 billion in grants and loans. These funds derive from an investment portfolio that began with gifts and bequests of Ford Motor Company stock by Henry and Edsel Ford. The Foundation no longer owns Ford Motor Company stock, and its diversified portfolio is managed to provide a perpetual source of support for the Foundation's programs and operations.

JICA-JAPANESE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY  

www.jica.go.jp

Grant aid is made available mainly for human resources development such as education and research, health and medical care, daily water supply (service water and drainage development), agriculture and farming villages, public infrastructure such as roads, bridges and airports, and environmental conservation projects. The grant aid program thus gives priority in particular to BHN-related projects that answer the most basic needs of human life. It is intended to contribute to nation-building in recipient countries while ensuring wide-ranging linkage with technical cooperation provided by Japan and other donors (i.e. countries and agencies providing aid). The question of which fields deserve priority in recipient countries is determined in accordance with policies announced by the Japanese government at economic summits and conferences to support developing countries initiated by international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank. When selecting projects, emphasis is placed upon whether the government of the recipient country has sufficient maintenance and administrative capacity, including budgetary and human resources.
