Hard rules - do not miss
- Drosos does not support individual requests, one-off events, or pure commercial-growth asks
- Beneficiaries must center young people or excluded/marginalised communities — not only existing Suddart employees
- Locally led Tunisian entity must be the lead applicant — Spain entity weakens the local-leadership logic
Bottom line
Genuine 7/10 fit — one of the strongest Suddart routes for a sustained partnership. Develop the programme concept first, then approach. Do not cold-pitch as a business.

Agent advice
Do not approach Drosos with a business-growth pitch. Frame the concept around beneficiaries — young women artisans, aspiring craft entrepreneurs, or excluded community members — with Suddart as the delivery platform.
A pilot project of 18 months is a natural starting point. Keep it focused: one cohort, one defined programme design, one measurable outcome. Drosos can expand to a multi-year partnership after the pilot proves the model.
