Deadline: 17 August 2015
The 2016 Request for Proposals for the Robert Carr Civil Society Networks Fund is now open!
Global and regional networks and consortia that meet the definitions and criteria set by this RfP, are invited to apply for a grant to support core-funding and/or programmatic needs of the network for up to three years (2016-2018).
This is an excellent grant opportunity for NGO networks (global and regional networks as well as consortia) that have a proven track record in working towards RCNF outcomes are prioritized.
The RCNFs vision is to achieve “Getting to Zero”: zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, zero AIDS related deaths. The Fund support the work of global and regional civil society networks to address critical factors for scaling up access to prevention, treatment, care and support and to protect the rights of inadequately served populations.
Focus Areas
The RCNF focuses on networks that address the needs and human rights of inadequately served populations. These are groups or persons that face a higher HIV risk, mortality and/or morbidity when compared to the general population, and have, at the same time, less access to information and services. They include people living with HIV, gay men and other men who have sex with men, women and men who use drugs, prisoners, sex workers and transgender people, but depending on the dynamic of the epidemic may also include women and girls, youth, migrants, and people living in rural areas.
Eligibility & Application Process
- The request for proposals (RfP) is open to global and regional networks, as well as consortia that meet the definitions and criteria set by this RfP.
- New and emerging networks can be recommended for funding to the extent that they fill a gap in the global HIV response. Preferably, new and emerging networks will submit an application in a consortium with other global and/or regional networks with a proven track record.
- Applicants can submit proposals for up to three years of funding. For the first year (2016), a work plan, budget and cash flow statement is required. The work plans, budgets and liquidity prognoses for subsequent years will have to be submitted in subsequent years.
