IMPLEMENTATION METHODS
FAI aims to achieve its goals through financial support, accompaniment and networking of organizations.
Financial support
Programs: funding for programs promoted by organizations with an established structure and recognized experience. Funds are granted for the strengthening of NGO activities on a programmatic basis, allowing for greater operational flexibility and inducing a qualitative improvement in the organization’s activities.

In addition to funding, FAI also offers support measures specifically designed for young or small organizations, with the aim of fostering their development and promoting mutual collaboration.
