[Dpo-officemanagers] Women's Peace Humanitarian Fund - New Call for Proposal 2021

[Paradise Tabucala]

Dear Safety and Protection Members,

Hope you’re all well!

On behalf of the UN Women Humanitarian team, I am happy to announce that the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) new call for proposal is now live!

The Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund is excited to announce its latest Call for Proposals in the Pacific to enhance inclusive and gender responsive humanitarian/crisis planning, frameworks, and programming. WPHF seeks to fund qualifying local organizations and projects led by and working alongside women and girls in the Pacific that are high impact, innovative and contribute directly to the objective to enhance inclusive and gender responsive humanitarian/crisis planning, frameworks, and programming. The focus of this call will be on enhancing inclusive and gender responsive humanitarian/crisis planning, frameworks and programming. Special attention will be provided to applications supporting women and girls multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, such as those marginalized and excluded due to poverty, ethnicity, disability, age, geography, migratory status, HIV status, among others, which is in clear alignment with the 2030 Agenda and the principle of leaving no one behind.

The Call for Proposals aims at responding to the needs of local women’s organizations in fragile settings, with the following funding stream:

Programmatic funding: from 80,000 USD to 150,000 USD

This funding stream will finance projects in Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Tonga which aim specifically to fund programmatic activities by civil society organizations that contribute to enhancing inclusive and gender responsive humanitarian/crisis planning, frameworks, and programming. The projects must focus on one country. Multi-country projects will NOT be accepted.

Composed of representatives from donors, United Nations entities, and civil society organizations, the WPHF is a global pooled funding mechanism which aims to re-energize action and stimulate a significant increase in financing for women’s participation, leadership, and empowerment in peace and security processes and humanitarian response. The WPHF is a flexible and rapid financing mechanism. It supports quality interventions designed to enhance the capacity of local women to prevent conflict, respond to crises and emergencies, and seize key peacebuilding opportunities.

UN Women acts as the WPHF’s Technical Secretariat at the global level. UN Women also acts as Management Entity for civil society organizations where UN Women has a country presence.
