12. Americas Analysis of current performance • Third largest funding area • Second lowest recipient s • Comparable number of application but poor success rate • Latin America fairing much worse that USA and Caribbean • Very few countries engaged from a large pool of ASNs • Ideal location for most development projects

13. Common misconceptions How the funding model works • It is difficult to receive grants, cost opportunity may not be worth application • Countries are less likely to receive grants • Small ASNs less likely to get funding • Language is a barrier for non English speaking ASNs • Application process is long and difficult and reporting is a major administrative burden • Co funding is a challenge and complicated

14. Obtain projects support How to maximize your chance of success • Read the best practice frameworks for each of the three safety programmes which are available in Spanish • Ensure applications relate to activities that are endeavouring to align to the relevant best practice framework • Ensure finances have well calculated and seek additional support • Note when the next funding round is and ensure sufficient time to pre-prepare materials for completing applications • Note should be taken of successful programmes and they should be emulated • Call on the support of Regional Training Providers during the application • Ask question to the Institute throughout the process
