Call for proposals for youth/girl/women led Civil Society Organizations: Building back equal, with and for Adolescent Girls

Description

1) Objective

Overall objective of this Call is to facilitate specific and targeted actions that promote adolescent girls’ health, nutrition, learning, and skills, as well as protection against violence, exploitation, abuse, and harmful practices. Under this call, your proposed project must contribute to one or more of the following priority areas:

1. Promoting adolescent girls’ health and nutrition
2. Advancing adolescent girls’ right to quality education and to relevant learning and skills
3. Protecting every adolescent girl from violence, exploitation, and abuse – online and offline – and preventing harmful practices,

This call for proposals aims to support grassroot youth-led, women/girls led organizations working with and for adolescents and youth. Hence the small local organizations are encouraged to apply. The interested organizations are expected to demonstrate innovative and practical approaches, through community engagement, addressing the above-listed priority areas, while including adolescents and young people throughout the project cycle. Key focus should be put on reaching marginalized and hard to reach groups of adolescents and young people, in particular adolescent girls and young women (minorities, adolescents and youth living in remote areas, socio-economically deprived, living with disabilities, etc.), and engaging them in design, implementation and evaluation of the project outcomes. The proposals need to show how the proposed activities will promote girls’ leadership, voice and agency as a catalyst for their inclusion and participation across all sectors and contexts.
