SIPRA Challenge Fund – Large Grants Now Open
MetaMeta, on behalf of ZOA, is pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the SIPRA Challenge Fund – Large Grant Facility. This initiative is part of the Strengthening Inclusive Partnerships for Smallholders in Rainfed Areas (SIPRA) programme, a four-year initiative funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. SIPRA is designed to strengthen food and nutrition security in Sudan by empowering smallholder farmers—particularly women and youth—through inclusive agribusiness investments, improved service delivery, and stronger local support networks.
The programme is currently active in seven states across Sudan: South Darfur, East Darfur, Central Darfur, South Kordofan, White Nile, Blue Nile, and Gedaref. It aims to unlock the vast potential of Sudan’s rainfed agriculture by combining technical assistance and catalytic funding through a Challenge Fund that supports innovative and scalable solutions in the country’s most critical value chains. These include rainfed cereal and legume farming, agro-processing and delivery of agricultural inputs and services, livestock, poultry, fisheries, and horticulture.
The Challenge Fund – Large Grant Facility provides financial support ranging from €20,000 to €100,000 for proposals that demonstrate potential for high impact, sustainability, and scalability. Proposals that request more than €100,000 may also be considered, but only under exceptional circumstances. Applicants seeking higher amounts must consult the SIPRA team in advance and provide a strong justification before submission.
