International Org/Dev/Coop / project financing
German term or phrase: Spezial- / Sonderprogramm
I feel as though I should grovel some apologies for this one - it's a list of types of funding, each for a different kind of purpose which I briefly specify:

Hauptprogramm (standard priorities)
Zusatzprogramm (additional smaller grants) Spezialprogramm (one-off projects)
Sonderprogramm (for one special policy area)
Ergänzungsprogramm (co-financing with main donor)
Extraprogramm (co-financing with other donors)

I'll post Zusatz/Extra as a follow-up. Thanks for any suggestions that make the purposes clearer too!

Explanation:
A bit wordy and maybe too literal, but it would help clarify the difference between the programs, based on your explanation.
