HIVOS: Call for proposal for Africa and Asia

[Priti Darooka]

Our Turn to Talk: Global Influencing Grants V-1730-XG-IF

Global and Regional Influencing Grants

Available to Target-led Organisations based in Africa and/or Asia

Are you an organisation that is led by one of Voice’s target groups? Do you see an opportunity to guide or influence global and/or regional bodies so that they are more open and receptive to the needs and interests of your target group?  Do you want to inspire attitudinal and policy change amongst people and governments in your region towards your target group? Do you want to try innovative and new ways to influence globally and/or regionally?

 If you answered “yes” to the questions above, then consider applying to this Call for Proposals.

What do we wish to fund?

This Call for Proposals will help Voice meet its objectives and incorporates feedback received from a consultation with key stakeholders. Voice will fund projects that focus on the following target groups:

• Women facing exploitation, abuse and/or violence
• People with Disabilities
• Age-discriminated (youth and elderly)
• Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people
• Indigenous People and Ethnic Minorities.

Often the most marginalised and discriminated are those who may be vulnerable due to multiple reasons. Therefore, Voice has a strong preference for projects that intend to work with more than one target group to address overlapping vulnerabilities.

Your project can look at any or all of the following themes:

• Improved access to (productive) resources (finance, land and water) and employment
• Improved access to social services, health and education in particular
• Space for political participation
