Description
1) Objective
The French Development Agency is launching a call for proposals aiming at strengthening the resilience of communities in the District of Montepuez. The overall objective of the selected project will be to reduce gender inequalities by improving the response to gender based violence through the education sector. The project will also promote gender equality via a holistic, integrated approach – health, protection, community development and support to shift social norms.
Within the framework of the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus, the AFD facilitates the transition from humanitarian actions to more structured and sustainable interventions that address the economic, social, and institutional drivers of crises, aiming to reduce fragility factors and enhance the resilience of affected territories and populations. In addition, the AFD seeks to adopt a transformative approach to gender and conflict, addressing key drivers of inequality and challenging harmful power dynamics (i.e. AFD’s 2024 Minka Gender and Conflicts Position Paper).
2) Eligibility
Eligible project leaders are International and National Civil Society Organizations or other Non-Profit Organizations (CSOs/NPOs) (UN agencies are not eligible).
3) Location
Actions must take place in Mozambique in Montepuez District (Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique).
4) Budget
AFD has a grant envelope of €6 million for this purpose.
5) Application
Selection is based on a project concept note, together with an administrative file and information sheets to all be submitted together at the latest by 11 AM, Paris time, on August 25th, 2025. The concept note must be 24 pages maximum (excluding annexes).
