Under the Program, the CCO will finance certain types of projects, which would focus on needs assessment, sharing expertise, providing direct grants to final beneficiaries and matching inventors with investors.

These themes have been prepared by considering the results of the questionnaire conveyed to the Member Countries and the outputs of the COMCEC COVID Consultation Meetings held in July 2020. Themes are not exhaustive and member countries can submit project proposals on other topics.
Member Countries are encouraged to cooperate with the relevant OIC institutions while preparing and implementing their projects under CCR.
