Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications for projects that ensure credible transitional justice processes in Yemen include a survivor-centered and accessible approach.
DRL’s goal in Yemen is to hold perpetrators of human rights violations and abuses accountable for their actions. The objectives of these programs are to accurately document and rectify human rights abuses and violations by all parties to the conflict. Disseminating information and awareness about judicial recourse processes to survivors when their rights have been violated helps prevent harm, breaks patterns of impunity, and ensures the rule of law is respected and upheld. Expanding access to advocacy networks with international reach amplifies the voices of survivors. Perspectives from Yemeni civil society are integral in bolstering survivor-centered justice mechanisms. Successful program design should focus on approaches that promote the inclusion of civil society and survivors in transitional justice processes and incorporate a rigorous, survivor-centered methodology to accurately document human rights abuses and violations by all parties to the conflict.
DRL welcomes applications from U.S.-based and foreign-based non-profit organizations/nongovernmental organizations (NGO) and public international organizations; private, public, or state institutions of higher education; and for-profit organizations or businesses. DRL’s preference is to work with non-profit entities; however, there may be some occasions when a for-profit entity is best suited.
