Deadline- 15 November 2012
Countries/Region- Uganda
Proposals invited for research on the Ugandan diasporas engagement, which aims to respond to the knowledge gaps on diaspora engagement with their countries of heritage, namely-
- How do African diaspora actors1 use their cultural, intellectual, financial, political, social capital when engaging with their countries of heritage?
- What is the policy environment in both the country of residence and heritage, specifically relating to diaspora actors?
Comic Relief has had a long-standing commitment to small and Diaspora organisations for many reasons: Diaspora organisations frequently bring their intellectual, political, social and cultural skills and resources to bear on the development initiatives they support, while small organisations often have a development ‘niche’ that gives their work clarity of focus and expertise.
The Common Ground Initiative is co-funded by the Department for International Development and seeks to make a more strategic investment in small and African Diaspora organisations. In doing so it makes a greater contribution to a just world free from poverty.
Proposals Should be submitted in English and include the following-
- Name, address and contact information of the consultant(s) and/or business
- A sample of similar work
- Suggested approach to the consultancy
- Budget & timescales
- Two independent referees from whom references may be sought for contracts completed within the last three years
- Evidence of registration for VAT and suitable insurance in place (both where appropriate)
- Any other supporting information
