Call for Proposals for Nigeria - Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund & Spotlight Initiative.
The Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund is pleased to announce its call for proposals in Nigeria.
The WPHF is governed by a Funding Board at the global level, which is comprised of four UN entities (currently UN Women, UNDP, UNFPA and PBSO), four donor Member States (currently Austria, Canada, the Netherlands and Norway), as well as 4 Civil Society Organizations (currently Cordaid, GNWP, APWAPS and WANEP).
This year, the Spotlight initiative and the WPHF will partner in six countries (the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria and Uganda) to channel quality funding to small, local and grassroots women-led and women’s rights organizations, as well as women’s funds, contributing to results under Outcome Area 6 of the Initiative’s Theory of Change.
The grants will focus particularly on ending violence against women and promoting women’s human rights and gender equality in peace and security contexts.
The focus of the WPHF Spotlight call will be on women-led, women’s rights organizations representing and working on behalf of groups facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, such as those marginalized and excluded due to poverty, ethnicity, disability, age, geography, migratory status, HIV status, among others, which is in clear alignment with the 2030 Agenda and the principle of leaving no one behind in EVAW programming.
