Bureau of DRL: Transitional Justice Program

Request for Applications for the Ukraine Civil Society Emergency Response Fund

Deadline: 4-Feb-22
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) is pleased to announce an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for projects that support forensic anthropology and transitional justice processes—whether judicial or non-judicial, formal or informal, retributive or restorative—around the globe.

Applicants should identify specific forensic anthropology assistance needs as part of an integrated approach to transitional justice in countries transitioning out of armed conflict or repressive regimes to redress legacies of atrocities and promote long-term, sustainable peace.  Successful proposals will demonstrate a clear understanding of the target country or countries and the respective operating environment(s) identified by the applicant, including existing U.S. Government or other donor-funded programs working in similar areas. Regional and/or global proposals are also welcomed and should focus on bolstering development and knowledge of regional networks and the collection and dissemination of lessons learned and best practices on transitional justice processes and forensic anthropological tools in Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and/or Europe.

Proposals must take an integrated, locally owned, and victim-centered approach in designing, strengthening, and/or promoting transitional justice processes and forensic anthropology assistance aimed at encouraging broad community ownership and sustainability. Program strategies should fit the appropriate cultural, judicial, legal, and economic context(s) of the local context and clearly articulate and address the needs and priorities of victims and their families. In addition, gender considerations must be integrated throughout program design.

Areas

Proposals should address two or more of the following areas:

All programs should aim to have impact that leads to reforms and should have the potential for sustainability beyond DRL resources. DRL’s preference is to avoid duplicating past efforts by supporting new and creative approaches.  This does not exclude from consideration projects that improve upon or expand existing successful projects in a new and complementary way.  DRL is committed to advancing equity and support for underserved and underrepresented communities.
