Deadline: 17-Apr-23
The SEA Junction is now accepting applications for its Small Grants Program “Staying Resilient Amidst Multiple Crises in Southeast Asia”.
Communities are, however, not passive victims of external forces. Even in times of crises, they remain resilient and mobilize their scarce resources and available preparedness mechanisms to address and overcome adversities. In their struggle, they are supported by concerned civil society and grass-roots organizations through short-term community development and humanitarian assistance efforts as well as longer-term advocacy strategies to promote a transformative agenda and structural reforms.
To strengthen resilience of marginal communities in Southeast Asia, SEA Junction will continue for three more years the small-grant program launched in 2020 with support from CMB Foundation and other individual and institutional donors. Three calls for proposals were undertaken during 2020-2022 and 48 initiatives were supported in 9 countries in Southeast Asia (except Singapore and Brunei).
Funds can be used to complement existing institutional resources as well as seeds or matching funds. Besides providing financing, the program also shares relevant resources, fosters cross-fertilization of ideas and interventions, helps build networks and conducts joint advocacy activities.
Eligibility and Priority:
- Focus is on crisis in any dimensions.
- Open to individuals and groups (both formal and informal).
- Proposed activities are located in Southeast Asia.
- Priority is given to marginal groups and community-led and inclusive initiatives.
- Emphasis on equity and resilience.
