The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Grants: Addressing Violence against Women and Girls - $50,000 to $1,000,000

0 comments

The United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women is accepting applications from civil society organizations for 3-year grants to address violence against women and girls in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa as part of the Spotlight Initiative. Civil society organizations are invited to submit grant proposals for a minimum of US$50,000 up to a maximum of US$1 million for a period of three years.

 

The UN Trust Fund is launching the Call for Proposals to address violence against women and girls in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa to contribute specifically to the achievement of results under Outcome 6 of the Spotlight Initiative and, more broadly, to its Theory of Change.

The Call for Proposals is available in English, French and Spanish and open to applicants in target countries in the following categories:

Latin America: Single Country Project Proposals from Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico

Sub-Saharan Africa: Single Country Project Proposals from Cameroon, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Mali, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe

Multi-Country Project Proposals from all other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: Countries under category 2 are not eligible for multi-country project proposals.

Applications from women’s rights, women-led, and small women’s organizations are prioritized, in recognition of them being the driving force of the ending violence against women agenda, as well as being at the forefront of reaching women and girls survivors at the grassroots level.

The application deadline is 31 July 2019.

 

The complete Call for Proposals detailing criteria, eligibility requirements and application guidelines is available at this link via the UN Women homepage.

 

Best wishes,
