Introduction The Migration Partnership Facility (MPF) plays an important role in translating the strategic priorities of the European Union’s external migration policy into practical initiatives. One of the core mechanisms through which this is achieved is the MPF’s grant programme. The MPF grant programme supports the implementation of migration partnerships between the EU Member States and partner countries. This Guideline for Application Submission provides a comprehensive, step-by-step overview of the application process in the Grant Management and Visualisation System (GMS) under the MPF Calls for Proposals. The GMS has been developed by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) with a view to automate functionalities and facilitate users’ experience. All Concept Notes (CNs) and Full Applications (FAs) must be submitted via the GMS. We strongly encourage all prospective applicants to read this guideline carefully and reach out to the MPF Team ([mpf.grants@icmpd.org](mpf.grants@icmpd.org) ) with any questions or requests for clarification while using the GMS for concept note or full application submissions. 2.
