would you be so kind and help us disseminate EIFL-PLIP call for concept papers to your mailing lists. It is rather late, but perhaps the inforemation will encourage
 those who already have ideas.

Thank you-
Breda Karun


EIFL-PLIP is pleased to announce a call for concept papers from public libraries in countries with emerging and developing economies.  This Call will focus on the replication  of services from projects funded in the first round  of EIFL-PLIP.  The proposed concept papers can be either for new activities/services or to strengthen/extend a service/project which the proposing library is already running.  Applicants are invited to develop and adapt services to their local context.

The successful concept papers will involve public libraries providing a service in one of the four following service areas in meaningful partnership with relevant bodies:

·         Support for children and youth at risk

·         Support for farming and farmers

·         Provision of health information

·         Improving people’s employment prospects.

The deadline for all concept papers is 30th June 2011. Twenty small grants of up to $15000 [USD] each will be awarded at the end of October 2011 for work to be done during the following 12 months.
