Deadline: 12-Jul-21
The British Embassy in Monrovia invites proposals for projects to be grant-funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office’s International Programme.
The International Programme is a technical assistance fund which supports small-scale projects that aim to deliver policy outcomes.
Examples of activity funded by the International Programme include communications, training, development of online digital resources, and so on. Successful projects should deliver change in Liberia.
Focus Areas
- Youth, gender equality, human rights, justice, democracy, media freedom, health, climate change/environment and education.
Funding Information
- The maximum funding amount available is US$30,000 (or GBP equivalent).
- Funding period: 1 September 2021 to 15 March 2022.
- All project activities and expenditure must be completed by the end of the funding period.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Embassy will prioritise bids from local NGOs/ civil society organisations but bids which involve working with government bodies may also be approved where there is a strong case.
- They will also accept bids from international organisations.
- They welcome proposals for work in all regions of Liberia.
Criteria
Proposals will be evaluated against the following criteria:
- alignment to Embassy priorities – the extent to which the proposed project will promote positive change in priority areas
- quality of project – How well defined the outcome is and how activities and outputs will successfully deliver this change
- value for money – Projects must be cost-effective in how they deliver the desired outcome, making economic, efficient and effective use of funds. They will consider the value of the expected project outcomes, the level of funding requested, how it will be used, and any match-funding contributions by the implementer or other partners
- previous experience – evidence of the project team’s understanding of the issue, evidence of previous successful activities in Liberia or the region, evidence of ability to manage and deliver a successful project, through work done to date in the policy area or in related fields
- gender-sensitive approach – Partners should identify the gender implications of the issue they are addressing, whether it will impact differently on men and women and how this is taken into account in the proposal. The proposals will be assessed by a mixed gender panel
