Deadline: 14 February 2017
Checchi and Company Consulting Inc. (Checchi) is currently inviting registered CSOs and NGOs to submit proposals for its ADALAT Traditional Dispute Resolution (TDR) Grants Program.
Traditional dispute resolution (TDR) is widely familiar and trusted in Afghanistan as it effectively serves the primary cultural objective of reconciling disputants and maintaining community harmony. Even formal justice actors, recognizing these essential strengths and the limitations of their own institutions, continue to rely heavily on the traditional justice system, referring many cases to TDR. TDR actors are also vulnerable to manipulation by powerful individuals (as are formal justice actors) and lack the means to separate intransigent disputants and enforce justice outcomes.
Funding Information
- Checchi anticipates funding 2-3 grants at a range of $100,000 -$150,000 for each grant program.
- The anticipated period of performance is 18 months from date of award. The anticipated start date for this program is on or about 01-March- 2017.
