The United Nations Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF), in partnership with Women Have Wings, is thrilled to announce its fourth call for proposals to promote peer learning between women’s rights civil society organizations (CSOs) working on women, peace and humanitarian issues while recognizing the contributions of women CSO representatives on the front lines.
In the framework of the WPHF Global Learning Hub (L-HUB), which enables WPHF-supported civil society partners from around the world to connect with each other and deepen their skills and capacity, WPHF seeks to fund qualifying proposals that contribute to the following objectives:
- Amplify the voices, promote the work, and recognize the vision and courage of 10 women working or collaborating with local CSOs in the field of Women, Peace, Security and Humanitarian Action (WPSHA);
- Foster peer learning, networking, and solidarity between 10 local CSOs active in the field of WPSHA.
Thanks to the generous support of Women Have Wings, this call for proposals will also provide:
- Honorary awards to 10 women leaders who engage in women, peace, security, and humanitarian action and contribute to the mission and goals of their CSOs in a meaningful way.
- Grants of up to 8,000 USD for five tandems of CSOs working on women, peace, security, and humanitarian action to develop a peer learning project based on trust and solidarity. Each proposal must be submitted by one active WPHF CSO partner based in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi, Uganda or Ukraine*. The partner organization (the second tandem CSO) can be an active or previous WPHF CSO partner or another local women’s rights organization working on WPSHA that has never been supported by WPHF.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 28 JULY 2024
APPLICATION PACKAGES SHOULD BE EMAILED TO: EMILIE.VIDAL@UNWOMEN.ORG
The awards will be a recognition of how these ten women engage in women, peace, security, and humanitarian action in a meaningful way. A peer learning project aims at exchanging experience and knowledge across CSOs, as well as supporting and collaborating with the other CSOs to improve institutional capacity.
*PLEASE NOTE: AN ACTIVE WPHF CSO PARTNER IS A CSO WHO IS IMPLEMENTING A PROJECT WITH FUNDS FROM WPHF AT THE TIME OF THE CALL FOR PROPOSALS AND WHOSE PROJECT WILL END AFTER 31 DECEMBER 2024.
