Reference timelines. The public competitions reviewed take between 3 and 10 months from opening to results (our calculation with 2026 call documents).
Mapping classification: This is bilateral cooperation that funds agreements run by NGOs such as CODESPA and Entreculturas, so entrepreneurs do not apply to AECID: they reach it as beneficiaries of those projects, at no cost. The agreements strengthen existing organizations and promoted new enterprises.
