Description
An international mission invites bids for a programme that can support and strengthen grassroots and women-led civil society organisations (CSOs) across Iraq to advance women peace and security (WPS) issues locally and nationally.
Bids should:
- empower women’s organisations across Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), to advance a localised WPS agenda and sustain progress towards women’s rights and equality
- strengthen women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in society and decision-making at a local and national level
This could be achieved by:
- working under multiple WPS-related themes by issuing and managing a grant scheme to Iraqi civil society organisations
- providing direct support to the Government of Iraq (GoI) and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to progress the Iraqi National Action Plans on WPS. This can be delivered directly by the successful applicant and/or through the CSOs grant activities
- supporting Iraqi CSOs through training, capability and capacity building, as well as strengthening networks
The grant scheme should be open to women-led CSOs based in Iraq, as well as CSOs that demonstrate a connection to WPS issues in Iraq. Disbursement and oversight of grants will be managed by the successful applicant. Grants will range in size and scope.
Further information from the Department for Business and Trade team in Iraq is available on request.
