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. 

Since 2010, FIDA has supported projects in all regions of the globe, including in Africa, South America, West Indies, Southeast Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Pacific region. Successful projects ranged from training in various basic archival skills, such as record management, appraisal and preservation, including audio-visual records, to more ambitious projects, such as setting up and organizing a new archive. 

There is one month left to apply for funding in 2024! The deadline is 15 September 2023. 

Questions? 

To help applicants navigate the application process, we host a series of live Q&A sessions to answer any questions that you may have. The French session is taking place this Friday 18 August at 8:00 CET.
