The Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund, in partnership with Women Have Wings, is thrilled to announce its second 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 ten women working or collaborating with local CSOs active 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 actionand contribute to their CSO’s mission and goals in a meaningful way.
- Grants of 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 grantee based in Ethiopia, Haiti*, Liberia, Mali, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu**. The partner organization (the second tandem CSO) can be an active or previous WPHF grantee or another local women’s rights organization working on WPSHA that has never been supported by WPHF.
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.
*FOR HAITI: ONLY CSO PARTNERS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CAN APPLY AS LEADS. CSO PARTNERS SUPPORTED THROUGH SPOTLIGHT OR COVID-19 EMERGENCY RESPONSE CANN ONLY APPLY AS PARTNERS.
**PLEASE NOTE: AN ACTIVE WPHF GRANTEE 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 30 JANUARY 2023.
