Strengthening resilience by empowering women and girls in areas affected by the Sudanese conflict

Description

1) Objective

The AFD is launching a call for proposals to support the resilience of areas and populations affected by forced displacements due to the conflict in Sudan, by ensuring that women and girls, particularly affected by the consequences of the conflict, are central drivers to foster resilience and prevent conflicts. With a total amount of 8 M EUR, it aims to finance a development project implemented by international nongovernmental organizations and national or civil society organizations.

This call for proposals is part of the #AvecElles initiative (“With Women”), aimed at protecting and empowering refugee women, jointly launched by France and UNHCR on the occasion of the 2023 Global Refugee Forum. It also contributes to France’s Action Plan on “Women, Peace and Security” (2021-2025).

2) Eligibility

This call for proposals is eligible to international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and other international or local non-profit organizations, organized in a consortium. The consortium should include one lead INGO and at least one national or regional CSO/NGO.

3) Location

Activities must be carried out in Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia. The proposal should target at least two of these countries.

4) Budget

Within the framework of this call for projects, AFD has an envelope of €8,000,000, through a grant agreement. The AFD contribution can finance 100% of the total project budget including taxes.

5) Application

The call is open until the 19th of May 2025.
