Deadline: 11-Jun-21
Choose Love, Inc. is incredibly proud to be part of a group of organisations coming together to fund refugee-led initiatives in Lebanon. This call is expected to strengthen the role of refugee-led and local initiatives in Lebanon and to support communities to better address their needs, speak in their own voice, and organize for broader change.
Purpose: To support small-scale initiatives in Lebanon to work with communities of both newcomers and locals to address humanitarian needs and enable the promotion and realization of fundamental rights. Organizations must be refugee-led initiatives.
For this initiative’s purposes, “refugee-led initiatives” are formal and informal organizations, coalitions, and networks that prioritize meaningful inclusion of refugees in governance, program design, and decision-making. In Lebanon, refugee-led initiatives may be registered to or co-run with the host community, given legal restrictions.
