Successful projects will be funded by the FCDO's International Programme Fund (IPF) budget. The deadline for submitting proposals is 17:00 (Yemen time) on Sunday 8 November 2020.
Programme
The programme is looking to support a project or projects with a budget of up to £60,000 in the following area.
Building the resilience of vulnerable communities affected by the impacts, both primary and secondary, of the COVID-19 pandemic in Yemen.
Examples of activities that projects might support include but are not limited to:
- raising awareness around routes of transmission of COVID-19 and protective sanitation measures in at-risk communities
- providing grants to small businesses affected by the economic downturn associated with the COVID-19 pandemic
- supporting women who have unpaid care duties or are working in the informal healthcare sector
- distributing hygiene kits to families, IDP camps, schools, hospitals or other public institutions
- providing psychosocial support to individuals whose mental health is at increased risk of suffering as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
In this call for proposals, we will prioritise bids that come from civil society organisations or work through civil society organisations as part of a consortium. We strongly encourage women-led or gender-focused organisations to apply. We welcome proposals for work in all regions of Yemen.
Successful projects should have sustainable outcomes and should clearly identify the change that will be brought about. They may also build on projects by other organisations, complementing their efforts, but should not duplicate existing work.
The maximum grant funding for any project is £60,000. This may be in addition to co-funding and self-funding contributions. Our funding is for the UK financial year 2020-21 only (projects must be implemented and all costs incurred by 31 March 2021).
