AmplifyChange Network Grants Round 4: Supporting Multiple Small-to-Medium Sized Civil Society Organisations

AmplifyChange Network Grants Round 4: Supporting Multiple Small-to-Medium Sized Civil Society Organisations

Deadline: 31 July 2018

AmplifyChange is currently seeking applications for the 4th round of its Network grants to contribute to the development of stronger and more inclusive movements for Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).

Networks create connections to help like-minded organisations strengthen and coordinate their impact, including finding strengths in diversity. They should be led by southern-based organisations capable of convening and supporting multiple small-to-medium sized civil society organisations – including AmplifyChange grantees – to build stronger, more inclusive and resilient movements.

Funding Information

  • Network grants range from EUR150,000 to EUR550,000 over 2 years.
  • The annual value of the grant cannot exceed 50% of the lead organisation’s average annual expenditure over the last 3 years.

Topic Areas

  • Safe Abortion networks (particularly those supporting emerging movements in West, Central and North Africa)
  • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex networks supporting civil society organisations in West and Central Africa

Eligibility Criteria

  • The eligibility criteria refer solely to the lead applicant. They are:
    • The applicant organisation must be registered in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, or MENA (mentioned below)
    • The project must be implemented in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, MENA (mentioned below)
    • The applicant organisation must have a bank account
    • The annual value of the grant cannot exceed 50% of applicant’s organisation’s average annual expenditure over the last 3 years. So, for example, if applicants are applying for a grant of EUR250,000 over 24 months and they would receive EUR125,000 each year, applicants would need to be able to demonstrate that their organisation’s average annual expenditure for the last 3 years was at least EUR250,000 per year
    • Organisations must have registration status that enables them to receive funds from foreign sources
    • Organisations must have been registered for at least 3 years
  • Applicant’s project must respond to one or more of the AmplifyChange priorities which are:
    • Addressing gender-based violence, including sexual violence and female genital mutilation, and ending child, early and forced marriage
    • Addressing the causes of unsafe abortion, including criminalisation of abortion
    • Challenging stigma, discrimination, attitudes and laws that undermine human rights, including on grounds of gender identity or sexual orientation, particularly LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex) individuals
    • Increasing access to comprehensive reproductive health services for socially and economically marginalised and vulnerable people
    • Improving sexual health of young people and girls, including through comprehensive sexuality education and ending child, early and forced marriage and menstrual hygiene management
  • Therefore, the program will support:
    • community groups
    • non-governmental organisations
    • indigenous groups
    • charitable organisations
    • faith-based organisations
    • research institutes
    • social enterprise groups
