About this grant

Compacts provide large-scale, multi-year grants to eligible low- and lower-middle-income countries, designed to reduce poverty through economic growth. Eligible countries lead the design and implementation of these agreements, which typically focus on infrastructure, agriculture, education, transport, energy and water sectors. Local authorities, nonprofits and social enterprises in eligible countries may participate. Countries must meet the funder's criteria for low- or lower-middle-income status. Projects should be at a mature, scaling stage rather than early development. The funding combines grants with blended finance structures to maximise impact on poverty reduction and sustainable economic development.
