United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has announced the present Call for Proposal for Engaging an NGO/CSO as a Responsible Party for managing small grants programme on the issues of community development and security initiatives, social cohesion, social integration, conflict prevention and peacebuilding, gender equality and GBV prevention, community policing, promotion of participatory budgets, civil society peer-to-peer support programmes, CSO mentoring system, inter-municipal cooperation, support to women-led CSOs in the target hromadas of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Sumy and Chernihiv oblasts.
