The Fund for Global Human Rights has announced an open Request for Proposals (RFP) from human rights organizations in Pakistan.
The Fund for Global Human Rights is founded on the belief that securing basic freedoms worldwide requires effective frontline organizations challenging abuse wherever it occurs. Despite their importance, many on-the-ground human rights groups have woefully little access to the financial resources and support that would amplify their voices and increase their impact. The Fund for Global Human Rights was founded by a group of U.S. and Europe-based foundations in 2002 to respond to this funding gap.
The Fund seeks to increase the flow of financial resources to locally-based human rights organizations to strengthen human rights movements in countries around the world.
Organizations requesting funding must be working to defend, protect or promote human rights. This work could include mobilizing popular opinion through human rights skills-building and organizing; exposing abuse through documentation; addressing violations through direct action, policy/legal reform, legal aid, and litigation; networking and coalition building to further the effectiveness of human rights work; and capacity building.
The deadline to submit proposals is 29 December 2010. For more information, visit this link.
