Description
1) Objective
GCERF invites Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Uzbekistan to apply for funding to implement programmes that prevent violent extremism online among youth and at-risk groups, including labour migrants, and promote community resilience against radicalisation, building on the previous work by the Government of Uzbekistan.
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of all activities, these programmes require trained personnel and expertise to meet the specific needs of this population. The applying organisation must demonstrate the necessary capacity in its proposal. They aim to support a programme that will achieve the EOI objective and strategies, based on needs assessments of target beneficiaries and a baseline survey supported by grant awards.
2) Eligibility
Appropriate legal registration in the Republic of Uzbekistan is a prerequisite.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Uzbekistan.
4) Budget
The proposed programme should cover a period of 24 months. They intend to issue grants to civil society organisations (consortia preferred) for a minimum of 250,000 USD or a maximum of 500,000 USD, over the duration of the grant period. Only one or two grants will be awarded.
5) Application
All Expressions of Interest must be duly filled in and submitted electronically to call.centralasia@gcerf.org by 15 October 2025. The email should be marked as ‘EOI-UZ-PVE-[Organisaton name]’ in the subject line.
