Call for Proposals: Government of Netherlands Grants for NGOs in Africa and Asia 2016, Application Deadline: 15th October, 2016
Offered annually? Yes
Eligible Countries: Nigeria, Kenya, Indonesia, Niger, Tanzania, Philippines, Mali, Uganda, Cambodia, Laos
To be taken at (country):
About the Award: This first call for proposals is designed to help Voice, its potential grantees and wider community of stakeholders to learn from innovation. There exist many new, interesting and effective methods and approaches for supporting the Voice target group(s) in participating in their own governance and improving access to resources and services. For example, people who belong to more than one of the five target groups are more vulnerable to discrimination and therefore an emphasis on learning from programmes to address this phenomenon is encouraged.
Has your organisation, or an organisation you are partnered with implemented such programming? If so, then Voice could fund an Innovate and Learn Grant to document, review, analyse, research and test your programming, approach and/or methodology. An essential element of the project should be recommendations for scaling up the approach and methodology and an effective dissemination plan of the findings.
Voice focuses on five marginalised and discriminated groups, selected based on a review of research and country analysis; these are:
- People living with disabilities
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender, intersex (LGBTI) people
- Women facing exploitation, abuse and/or violence
- Age discriminated vulnerable groups notably the young and elderly
- Indigenous groups and ethnic minorities
These groups are:
- most affected by poverty or making least progress towards development outcomes;
- most affected by social, economic, spatial and political exclusion;
- currently ignored or not reached by development actors;
- at risk of repression or violence for speaking out for their rights.
Projects funded by Voice will need to address one or more of the impact themes:
- improving access to (productive) resources (finance, land and water) and employment
- improving access to social services, health and education in particular
- fostering space for political participation
