Deadline: 17-Oct-21
UN Women is calling for proposals for Improving Quality and Utilization of VAWG Services for Women and Girls with Disabilities.
The objective is to increase the capacity and resources of medical forensic services and 6 relevant CSOs to deliver higher quality and more coordinated essential services and access to justice to WGWD – survivors of violence, especially those facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination. This will be supported by increased access to information to women and girls’ survivors of violence and their families regarding access to quality essential services.
The overall vision of the Spotlight Initiative is that women and girls enjoy their right to a life free of violence. The programme will contribute to the elimination of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) by responding to the needs of women and girls and addressing the underlying causes of violence against women and girls (VAWG) using a multi-sectoral approach across the ecological model. The Programme is grounded on the core principle of leaving no one behind.
Funding Information
The budget range for this proposal should be TJS1,015,000.00 – TJS1,127,000.00 .
