Sage Fund: Enforcing Remedies in Corporate Accountability Cases

Sage Fund: Enforcing Remedies in Corporate Accountability Cases

Deadline: 11 May 2018

The SAGE Fund is inviting two-page concept notes from organizations working with affected communities to design and pilot robust enforcement strategies for legal decisions in corporate accountability cases.

The Fund aims to pilot targeted approaches that break through barriers to enforcement. SAGE will select up to six projects seeking to enforce a judicial or quasi-judicial decision through creative strategies employing a combination of tactics that may include mobilization, media and communications, regulatory action, additional litigation, international human rights mechanisms, and other forms of advocacy.

Funding Information

Organizations may apply for a grant from US $30,000 – $100,000 for a term up to 18 months.

Project Elements and Design

  • Activities covering a 12-18 month period;
  • Clear outcomes or progress indicators that the work is contributing to enforcement of the decision;
  • A robust, innovative, potentially replicable strategy and/or coordinated campaign;
  • Leadership from affected communities and allied organizations as active partners in developing and advancing the strategy;
  • Potential to feed into international campaigns or broader initiatives (Extraterritorial Obligations, Parent Company Liability, Proposed Binding Treaty on Human Rights and Business, OHCHR’s study on Accountability and Access to Remedy, etc.);
  • A strong communications strategy to mobilize support and help achieve the project’s enforcement goal; and
  • A learning component that assesses the strategy during the project and captures anddisseminates lessons for the broader field.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Human rights organizations or civil society organizations with a mission and programs strongly aligned with human rights are invited to apply, including:
    • NGOs from the Global South;
    • Networks, coalitions and project partnerships (preference will be given to those with strong participation and leadership from the Global South); and/or
    • Research centers with strong links to activist practice.
  • Project proposals may be submitted by an individual organization or by two or more groups as project partners. International NGOs or anchor NGOs from the Global North may participate as a project partner and are eligible to receive some funding for activities as part of the project, but are not intended as a primary grantee nor may they receive the majority of the funds. Eligible organizations must either:
    • Be a legally registered charity in the local country and have a bank account that is capable of receiving international wire transfers; or
    • Designate an NGO that is legally registered in the country and has a local bank account capable of receiving international wire transfers to serve as the project’s fiscal agent.
