Description
1) Objective
The CIVICUS Crisis Response Fund, established in 2007, serves as a mechanism for mobilizing quick, principled and effective advocacy responses to events that threaten civil society’s fundamental right to associate and assemble freely.
- For advocacy grants: partners must demonstrate that proposed activities respond to an urgent threat to freedom of assembly and association (FoAA) and that partners included as beneficiaries of the project are at high risk in exercising their rights to these freedoms. Examples of activities include: Advocacy meetings and workshops to respond to restrictive laws governing FoAA and lobbying policymakers and key actors to amend restrictions; Conducting counter-narrative campaigns to respond to smear campaigns against civil society; Harnessing opportunities in multilateral fora, like the United Nations, to put pressure on governments to uphold FoAA.
- For resiliency grants: partners must demonstrate that the proposed activities enhance the security and resiliency of the applying partners, who would be at imminent risk from their human rights work. Examples of activities include: Providing digital and physical security audits and trainings; Providing psychosocial interventions for civil society actors at risk; Preemptively creating a strategy to respond to the threat of restrictions on access to foreign funding for civil society.
2) Eligibility
The CRF welcomes applications from formal or informal civil society actors and consortia, including social movements.

4) Budget
