• Inclusive governance, including diversity and 2SLGBTQI+, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
• Peace and security, with a focus on conflict prevention and building peace.
• Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

Note that consultations can include, but are not limited to, speaking to women and girls from the local community, women and other individuals who work for civil society organizations that have worked in the local community and female and male decision and change makers who have knowledge of the local community. Inadequate completion of a GBA may affect the consideration of your proposal.

2) Eligibility

Eligible recipients include: local non-governmental, community and not-for-profit organizations; local academic institutions working on local projects. The majority of CFLI funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level.

Similarly, municipal, regional and national government institutions may receive funding provided that their projects are essentially local in nature. The CFLI administrators are always looking to fund innovative projects that deliver measurable results.

3) Location

Actions must take place in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
