Grant Description

Limited Funding is available through the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) for proposals for globally-relevant capacity building, research, assessment, or evaluation projects that will strengthen the international community's ability to reduce and effectively respond to gender-based violence (GBV) among PRM populations of concern. To maximized global reach, activities should involve multiple location and, when possible, multiple partners. Proposals must: 1) Seek to build the capacity of NGO and implementing partners to prevent and respond to GBV with worldwide application and/or implications; and/or 2) Involve research, assessments or external evaluations (prospective or retrospective), that could inform and strengthen PRM (and/or the international community's) policy and programming for GBV prevention and response. Such research, assessments, or evaluations should include concrete policy and program recommendations for relevant stakeholders and focus on PRM populations of concern. NOTE: This funding is not intended to build the capacity of a specific or single organization. Proposals for GBV prevention and/or response efforts serving refugee and conflict-affected populations in specific geographic locations should be submitted through a separate application process.
