The ICA Fund for the International Development of Archives’ (FIDA) role is to support the development of archives and archivists in countries, regions and communities where archives and records provision could be strengthened due to lack of resources or training opportunities, or for other reasons.  
FIDA is a distinct programme of awards to support projects that endeavour to develop an archive or to support individual archivists, through career development, mentoring and other methods, to enable archives and their archivists to acquire professional and management competencies needed to manage the archives in their countries, regions or communities. 
The FIDA Board of Directors now invites members to submit proposals for projects and initiatives planned for 2023. 
FIDA application forms (for individuals or for groups/institutions) and support documents are available in English, French and Spanish.  
Be sure to use the updated 2023 forms! You must be a member of the ICA to apply. More information here. 
All documents are available for download here. 
The application deadline is 31 August 2022.
