Deadline: 30 August 2017
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement from qualified U.S. and Non-U.S. organizations to fund an activity entitled “Counter Gender-Based Violence Activity (C-GBV)”.
USAID/Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) implements an integrated approach to GBV in the DRC, with this activity serving as the hub to a larger set of activities designed to:
- promote positive gender norms, power-relations and attitudes to address a core driver of GBV;
- respond to survivors’ medical, emotional, and legal needs;
- reduce stigma to enhance reintegration of survivors.
This activity will address GBV in a conflict zone in DRC but should not be limited to conflict-related GBV. Provision of socio-economic opportunities to reduce the impacts of GBV associated with poverty, and testing of innovative techniques for community-based dispute resolution that enhance social cohesion, should support efforts to address the stigma of GBV survivors.
