Deadline: 4 May 2018
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) is seeking proposals for its FY 2018 Notice of Funding Opportunity for global programming to further innovation in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) in conflict-affected humanitarian emergencies.
This announcement is for submissions that advance GBV programming and practice at the field level, with a particular focus on initiatives and efforts that improve quality and accessibility of services for women, girls, and survivors of GBV. PRM will prioritize submissions that contribute to a broader evidence-base and builds upon current standards to enhance approaches or practice for the wider humanitarian community and submissions that promote inter-agency and inter-sectoral thought leadership and/or improve coordination at global and field levels.
Themes
- Improved Service Provision: Key actions should focus on strengthening effective preparedness in humanitarian action or contributing to a global package of core GBV services, which includes risk reduction, primary prevention, and/or specialized service provision. Specific topics of interest include: intimate partner violence, sexual exploitation and abuse, adolescent girls, behavior and norms change, social empowerment, movement building; and advanced service delivery. Proposals that support coordination of L3 conflict-affected emergencies will be considered.
- Global Standardization: Key actions should focus on creating standards and consistency in GBV programming and emergency response to provide a foundation for accountability. The emphasis should be on strengthening or improving existing policies and standards that fulfill system-wide commitments to gender equality, such as the prevention of sexual exploitation or abuse or implementation of effective complaints mechanisms. Proposals that include rapid response staff or deployments that respond quickly and systematically to field needs and priorities will be considered.
- Research, Evaluation, and Uptake: Key actions should include research or evaluations that contribute to global learning and/or the development of tools, resources, or methodologies for that can be applied to ongoing and protracted emergency responses. Proposals that support GBV inter-agency real time evaluations in L3 conflict-affected emergencies will be considered.
