The United Nations Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) launched a Call for Proposals in Syria to support civil society organizations to implement projects focusing on peacebuilding and recovery, as well as supporting local women and young women’s rights organizations through institutional funding.
WPHF seeks to fund qualifying local organizations in Syria through the following funding streams:
- Programmatic funding from $30,000 USD to $200,000 USD
To finance programmatic activities of CSOs aimed at enhancing the social cohesion, peacebuilding and economic empowerment of women and young women in crisis and conflict settings (in line with WPHF’s Outcome on Peacebuilding and Recovery).
- Institutional funding from $2,500 USD to $30,000 USD
To reinforce the institutional capacity of women’s rights and women-led organizations working on the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda in Syria to ensure they are able to sustain themselves and to improve their impact.
PLEASE NOTE: AN ORGANIZATION CAN ONLY APPLY ONE TIME FOR PROGRAMMATIC FUNDING and for one area only per proposal AND/OR ONE TIME FOR INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING. ORGANIZATIONS WHO APPLY FOR BOTH STREAMS NEED TO SUBMIT TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS PACKAGES BASED ON THE REQUIREMENTS AND RELATED TEMPLATES OF EACH STREAM.
