Deadline: 31 December 2017
IREX through the Regional Assistance Program 2 (RAP 2) is seeking proposals from prospective partners to support one of the following two priorities:
- response to urgent political developments; or
- existing and ongoing advocacy campaigns for political, legal, social, and economic engagement in the Middle East and North Africa.
The purpose of this annual program statement (APS) is to identify the needs of civil society actors engaged in political developments or advocacy campaigns at the local, national or regional levels, inform and help design RAP 2 interventions to respond to those needs, and shape, support and enable projects to achieve their desired political, legal, social, or economic objectives.
Objectives
This APS includes two priority areas:
- Priority Area A: Prepare local organizations to respond to snap local and national elections and other emergent political developments.
- Priority Area B: Enhance civil society organizations’ ability to successfully complete an existing local or national political, legal or social campaign that would benefit the society and strengthen the relationship between governmental and non-governmental institutions.
Funding Information
IREX plans to award up to a total of eight grants in 2017-2018 for amounts ranging between US$50,000-250,000 to qualified applicants.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be civil society organizations or NGOs.
- Assistance will be to organizations, rather than to individuals, that are working in: Algeria, Bahrain, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, West Bank Gaza, and Yemen.
- IREX recognizes that licensing and registration procedures and regulations for NGOs vary from country to country across the region, and is therefore open to receiving applications from organizations that are not registered as NGOs per se, but that are not-for-profit and fulfill the mission of and operate as CSOs.
