DISCLAIMER - PESP APPLICATIONS
Applicants who have applied for or received funding through the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP) for the same training programme are not eligible to apply under this Training Service Provider Call.
This includes applicants awaiting the outcome of a PESP application. The NFVF will not consider applications that duplicate funding across programmes with similar implementation timelines. This measure is intended to prevent double funding and to ensure that funding reaches a broader pool of beneficiaries.
