Reference timelines. The public competitions reviewed take between 3 and 10 months from opening to results (our calculation with 2026 call documents).

Mapping classification: Entrepreneurs do not apply to GIZ: they reach the project through the Fondo Concursable Puna run by Profonanpe, with competitive local initiatives above 3,500 m. GIZ sets up that funding mechanism and provides technical assistance; the fund has non-reimbursable and reimbursable windows, so repayment is partial.
