UNODC Small Grants Facility to support victims of trafficking

-By Development Network-

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has launched the 2011 Small
Grants Facility under the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for victims of
human trafficking. The Facility aims to provide tangible support through
established channels to victims of trafficking in persons.
NGOs are invited to submit proposals to apply for fundng on projects supporting
victims of trafficking. NGOs can submit applications on behalf of a coalition
(more than 4 organizations), a consortium (minimum of 2 other organizations and
a maximum of 4), but the NGO will be the primary focal point and will be
financially responsible for the delivery of the grant.
Grants can be requested for up to USD 25,000 per year with a project duration
ranging between six and 36 months. All applications are to be submitted in
English.
In 2011, two thematic priorities have been established:
- Cross-border and inter-regional activities providing direct humanitarian,
legal and/or financial assistance to victims.
- Effective remedies for victims of human trafficking, including, but not
limited to, legal support, access to justice and compensation.
All proposals must focus on either one or both of the above-listed thematic
priorities. If an application fails to respond to at least one of the two
thematic priorities, it will be ineligible to receive funding.
Applications are to be submitted online. The submission deadline is 30 April
2011. For more information, visit this link:
