Deadline: 15-Mar-22
The Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) is excited to announce its latest Call for Proposals in Lebanon to improve the political participation of women and girls in peacebuilding contexts and to strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations working on gender issues in peace and security and humanitarian settings.
The overall goal of the WPHF’s theory of change is to contribute to peaceful and gender equal societies. Achievement of this goal will require that women are empowered to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from conflict prevention, crisis response, peacebuilding, and recovery. Since its launch in 2016, WPHF has been supporting over 450 civil society organizations and is present in 25 countries or group of countries.

WPHF seeks to fund qualifying national and local organizations in Lebanon through the following funding streams:
- Programmatic funding from 30,000 USD to 200,000 USD
- Institutional funding from 2,500 USD to 30,000 USD
Please Note: An organization can only apply one time for programmatic funding and/or one time for institutional funding. Organizations who apply for both streams need to submit two applications packages based on the requirements and related templates of each stream.
