Deadline: 15 March 2019
Applicants are invited to apply for the East Africa Disability Fund which focusses on enabling disabled people to improve their livelihoods, for projects based in Tanzania and Uganda.
They are currently refreshing their strategy, with a key area of work expected to be a focus on a small number of strategic grants in 2019/20. Strategic grants are large grants (£1-2 million over 2-5 years) that may be provided to one organisation with partners or a consortium of different organisations, working together to contribute to longer-term change for people with disabilities in Uganda, and Tanzania (which includes Zanzibar).
These grants should target different aspects of economic empowerment, addressing root causes of vulnerability and poverty, challenging or changing how things are done. Local people and organisations should be at the heart of project development and delivery. Grants will be flexible, focused on learning and adapt over time as the context and issues evolve.
Eligibility Criteria
- They fund voluntary or community sector organisations (a registered charity, incorporated voluntary organisation or social enterprise) with a UK registered office and registered at the Charity Commission, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
- They expect organisations to be working in partnership with local organisations based in either Tanzania or Uganda, or both.
