AmplifyChange is currently seeking applications for the 4th round of its Network grants to contribute to the development of stronger and more inclusive movements for Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).
Networks create connections to help like-minded organisations strengthen and coordinate their impact, including finding strengths in diversity. They should be led by southern-based organisations capable of convening and supporting multiple small-to-medium sized civil society organisations – including AmplifyChange grantees – to build stronger, more inclusive and resilient movements.
Funding Information
- Network grants range from EUR150,000 to EUR550,000 over 2 years.
- The annual value of the grant cannot exceed 50% of the lead organisation’s average annual expenditure over the last 3 years.
Topic Areas
- Safe Abortion networks (particularly those supporting emerging movements in West, Central and North Africa)
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex networks supporting civil society organisations in West and Central Africa
Eligibility Criteria
- The eligibility criteria refer solely to the lead applicant. They are:
- The applicant organisation must be registered in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, or MENA (mentioned below)
- The project must be implemented in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, MENA (mentioned below)
- The applicant organisation must have a bank account
- The annual value of the grant cannot exceed 50% of applicant’s organisation’s average annual expenditure over the last 3 years.
