CALL FOR PROPOSALS: WPHF

 

The Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) has launched a Call for Proposals in Lebanon to support civil society organizations to implement projects focusing on humanitarian and crisis response, the protection of women and girls, and peacebuilding and recovery, as well as supporting local women and young women's rights organizations through institutional funding.

 

WPHF seeks to fund qualifying local organizations in Lebanon through the following funding streams:

 

  • Programmatic funding from 30,000 USD to 300,000 USD 

To finance programmatic activities of CSOs aimed at i) Enhanced participation and leadership of women in humanitarian planning and response (in line with WPHF impact area 3), or ii) Enhanced protection, safety, security and mental health of women and girls (in line with WPHF impact area 5).

  • Programmatic funding from 30,000 USD to 150,000 USD

To finance programmatic activities of CSOs aimed at improving the socio-economic recovery and political participation of women and young women in peacebuilding contexts (in line with WPHF impact area 6). Under Impact Area 6, projects should specifically target forcibly displaced women and young women in Lebanon (including internally displaced, refugees, returnees, or asylum seekers). Projects will be part of the Funding Initiative on Forced Displacement

  • Institutional funding from 2,500 USD to 30,000 USD 

To reinforce the institutional capacity of women’s rights and women-led organizations working on gender issues in peace, security and humanitarian contexts to ensure their ability to sustain themselves and improve their impact.
