Deadline: 04-Mar-21
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is seeking proposals for NGOs/CSO to engage as responsible party for designing and managing a small grant facility for business input provision to conflict-affected women with viable business plans, providing entrepreneurship training and assigning mentors to offer legal, financial and management advice.
This initiative aims to address the needs of conflict affected-women and girls who are displaced and whose vulnerabilities are further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic in Georgia. Crisis situations profoundly affect societal structures and highlight deep social and economic inequalities: with multiple intersecting dimensions, gender norms, access to livelihoods, resources, assets and opportunities.
This Call for Proposals (CFP) is specifically related to the UNDP Project: ”Expanding agency and voice and improving the socio- economic outlook for conflict-affected women during the COVID-19 crisis” funded under the Funding Window Secretariat.
The small grant facility will serve conflict-affected communities living in the areas adjacent to the Administrative Boundary Lines (ABLs) along Abkhazia and South Ossetia/Tskhinvali Region in three project target regions: Imereti, Shida Kartli and Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti.
Funding Information
- The overall indicative amount made available under this call for proposal is about USD 65,000.00.
- The duration of proposed activities should not exceed the period of five (5 months).
