What's been achieved
AFCP is a facilitator . . . primarily through the medium of this website but also through the organisation and attendance at meetings. But we’re frequently unaware of any successful funding and collaboration we’ve facilitated, after all, it’s not our role to get involved in any detailed discussions or negotiations about how grants should be awarded.
To help people understand more about the role and activities of AFCP’s it is essential that we provide examples of successful achievements, some of which are presented here.
