Call for applications - Pacific Funds 2026

Deadline: 31 December 2025

A call for projects is launched by the Permanent Secretariat for the Pacific, for funding from the "Fund for Economic, Social and Cultural Cooperation for the Pacific", or "Pacific Fund".

Projects submitted must : 

• Associate at least one of the three French territories in the Pacific (New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna) in a partnership with an independent Pacific State.

• Include mandatory co-financing : the Pacific Fund contribution must not exceed 50% of the total project cost.

Priority will be given to projects that are likely to have a lasting, concrete and perceptible impact for the beneficiary populations. Applications for the organisation of symposium or conferences for which the required grant is to finance travel expenses will not be prioritized. The eligible themes for 2026 are those related to sport, as a vector of cooperation and exchanges between Pacific territories and States, the development of the audiovisual sector and promotion of the Francophonie. More broadly those related to the “Strategic Plan 2022-2031” of the Pacific Community and the “2050 for the Pacific Blue Continent” strategy of the Pacific Islands Forum, in particular : climate resilience, food security, sustainable economy, public health, protection of natural resources, connectivity and social development. Finally, a cross-cutting priority objective will aim to enhance the commitment of young people from French Pacific territories in the region, which can in particular rely on the deployment of international solidarity volunteers.
