A total of 21 National Paralympic Committees, two International Organisations of Sports for the Disabled, one Regional Organisation and nine International Federations will each receive part of €650,000 (£551,000/$719,000) which has been made available.

Projects include a proposal by the Greek National Paralympic Committee to work alongside both Serbia and Cyprus in an effort to help some of the thousands of people who have sought refuge in those countries, discover Para-sport.

This includes working with partner agencies to spread the word about the Paralympic Movement amongst refugees and offering training camps that will help towards their participation in local and national competitions.

The Ecuadorian Paralympic Committee will direct its funding towards talent identification, searching for those who could compete at the 2017 Youth Parapan American Games due to be held in São Paulo in Brazil.

Their focus will be on those areas affected by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake which hit the country in April. 

"Once again we have been overwhelmed by the number and quality of applications - 66 - from all around the world, and this year in particular we have received a large amount of proposals that are collaborative between countries," Georg Schlachtenberger, director of the Agitos Foundation, said.

"The innovation and thought that goes into each project cannot be underestimated and this year we have seen, more than ever, the true humanity and good spirit that exists within the Paralympic Movement.

"These 33 projects bring the total number that we have supported over four editions to 126, touching all corners of the globe.

"We look forward to seeing the 2016 projects unfold in the coming months and welcome them all to #TeamAgitos."
