All project activities must comply with UK sanctions requirements. You must ensure that no project funds are transferred to any individuals or organisations on UK Sanctions Lists under any circumstances. For example, if you hold a workshop or a conference, you must check in advance that none of the invited speakers or participants are on any UK lists of financial sanction targets or proscribed terrorist groups. You are also required to check that you do not use your funding to purchase any items that are subject to sanctions (e.g. dual-use civilian-military equipment, such as drones).
We would very much like to work with eligible organisations in Myanmar and South Sudan, but please bear in mind that we can only support your project if our bank allows us to transfer you funding. We believe this will be possible in certain circumstances, but we cannot guarantee that it will be possible before we try.
Please contact us before preparing an application involving organisations in the following countries: North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, or Crimea (Region of Ukraine). We might not be able to transfer funding to these countries.
