This call is designed to increase access to education for refugee and displaced children and youth. Targeted capacity building, combined with small grants for core activities, locally driven education-related programming, and policy engagement, would amplify the voices of refugee and internally displaced people (IDPs) and those of organizations that represent them and are led by them. The call has 3 core objectives:

Facilitate organizational capacity building among local RLO and/or IDP-led organizations working in the education sector to strengthen their empowerment and organizational effectiveness.
Provide grants to local organizations, particularly RLO and/or IDP-led organizations, to strengthen gender-responsive education programming for refugee and internally displaced children and youth, particularly girls and adolescent girls, and ensure due diligence and monitoring of grants.
Amplify the voices of local RLO and IDP-led organizations working in the education sector, including women-led organizations, through their collective action with key education stakeholders, governments, and host communities.
