Funding Information
For these programmes, the total contribution from the UNTFHS should not exceed US$300,000 for a period of 12-18 months.
Criteria
Programmes should deepen knowledge and practice on how the application of human security can help prevent, respond to and/or recover from complex challenges that cut across mandates, disciplines and institutions.
Programmes need to demonstrate genuine application of the human security approach. They should aim to generate the highest degree of catalytic effect and be directed towards complex challenges best suited to the human security approach.
Programmes can incorporate assessments and practice- or policy-oriented research on human security on the condition that they lead to new tools, strategies or practical solutions based on the human security approach that may be adopted by the UN system, Member States, and/or intergovernmental organizations, among others.
Proposals should offer novel and innovative ways of working – new entry points, new types of partnerships, etc. – to promote solutions that will ultimately lead to more impactful and sustainable outcomes for people.
Each programme must include a strategy to increase awareness and usage of the human security approach and the adoption of tools, strategies or practical solutions developed.
The UNTFHS encourages budgeting for international/national UN Volunteers as appropriate for the programme.
