The Falkland Islands Government approved funding for the delivery of the Rural Development Strategy (RDS) Action Plan in 2017-2018.
One of the main requirements of the RDS is to stimulate business growth, encourage diversification of the Camp economy and drive up new business formation rates in Camp. The Capital Development Fund has been established to help achieve this.
Funding has been set aside for this grant scheme in the 2017/2018 financial year with the scheme closing at the end of June 2018. This funding will be reviewed against demand from applicants on an on-going basis.
Anybody considering starting-up a new business in Camp, or developing an existing one, is encouraged to get in touch with FIDC's Development Team to discuss their plans and seek guidance on further step.
