Target Groups
Voice will fund projects that focus on the following target groups:
- People with disabilities
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI)
- Indigenous people and ethnic minorities
With at least one of the following target groups as a cross-cutting issue:
- Age discriminated vulnerable groups notably the young or elderly
- Women facing exploitation, abuse and/or violence
Often the most marginalised and discriminated are those who may be vulnerable due to multiple reasons. Therefore, Voice has a strong preference for projects that intend to work with more than one target group to address overlapping vulnerabilities.
Themes
- Improved access to (productive) resources (finance, land and water) and employment,
- Improved access to social services, health and education in particular,
- Space for political participation and citizen engagement
Funding Information
Grant can be from €5,000 to €25,000 and from 12 to 24 months in duration.
Eligibility Criteria
