Strengthening Humanitarian Assistance and Response to Protection Risks in Ukraine project (SHARP)

Description

1) Objective

The FCDO is intending to issue a call for proposals in February 2025 to provide life-saving protection and services to civilians affected by the conflict in Ukraine. The primary objective of the intervention is to protect civilians and non-combatants, particularly those who may face barriers to accessing services. This should reduce their exposure to risks, alleviate the effects of violence and other forms of harm, and promote awareness and respect for International Humanitarian Law.

2) Eligibility

Applicants will need to demonstrate global experience in specialist protection work in armed conflict and displacement situations, and experience of working safely and effectively with high-risk groups. In addition, applicants should have previous experience of leading or being a member of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) consortia or delivering combined programmes with a value of at least £10 million. Applicants should have an established track record of collaboration with government ministries and should participate in the protection cluster and its areas of responsibility and/or other relevant working groups.

3) Location

Actions must take place in Ukraine.

4) Budget

The grant size is not mentioned.

5) Application

They expect to publish the formal call for proposals on Monday 24 February 2025, with an application deadline of Friday 21 March 2025.
