Deadline: 16 April 2018
Do you want to try something new and innovative to support your target groups? Have you tested a new approach but haven’t had time or resources to document, reflect and learn? Do you want to try using artivism (art for activism) to amplify the voices of your target groups? Do you want to scale up and disseminate an innovative approach but with a different target group or geographical area? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then apply for Voice’s Let’s try something new: Cambodia Innovate and Learn Grants!
Innovate and Learn grants focus on organisations that want to learn from innovation and/or to test and scale new approaches. Voice focuses less on technology but prefers human-centred innovations that are context-specific and relevant to empowering, amplifying and/or influencing the voice of the target groups. Many new, interesting and effective methods and approaches for supporting the Voice target group(s) exist to help them participate in their own governance and improving access to resources and services. The grant hopes to capture and stimulate learning of these methods to develop an evidence-base for future programming at national, regional and global level.
Funding Information
Grant can be from €5,000 to €200,000 and from 12 to 24 months in duration.
Target Groups
This Call for Proposals will help Voice in Cambodia meet its objectives. 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, and
- Space for political participation
