Description
1) Objective
The Refugee-led Innovation Fund aims to empower displaced and stateless individuals by championing their creativity and ensuring their active involvement in shaping humanitarian efforts. By providing financial resources, mentoring, and expertise directly to refugee-led organizations, the fund seeks to enable innovative solutions that address the needs of their communities effectively. Through this support, the fund endeavors to reshape the landscape of humanitarian work, fostering inclusive participation and lasting positive impact.
2) Eligibility
The fund welcomes applications from organizations led by individuals with lived experience of forced displacement, including refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced persons, returnees, and stateless individuals recognized within their communities. Applicants can apply as a team, usually as part of an existing organization, and both registered and unregistered entities are eligible. Special consideration is given to organizations led by underrepresented groups such as LGBTIQ+ persons, women, people with disabilities, Indigenous populations, and others.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Selected organizations can receive financial support ranging from $500,000 to $1,500,000 to implement innovative solutions that generate value for their communities. Additionally, grantees will receive program and project management support, technical expertise, peer networking opportunities, and other tailored assistance based on their project needs.
5) Application
The application process involves a two-stage selection process. In the first stage, organizations submit a brief expression of interest outlining the identified challenge and proposed solution by the deadline of May 31, 2024. Shortlisted organizations will then proceed to the second stage, where they will develop and submit detailed applications with support from the Refugee-led Innovation Fund and UNHCR country offices.
