Given the current situation, the Info Session on the Call for Proposals for Local Advocacy Grants was held online on 29 June 2020, with the aim of introducing the participants to the ACT project and the LAG call. The Info Session included a live Q&A session with the ACT team.
The presentation from the Info Session can be downloaded here.
Check out the video of the live-streamed Info Session.
After the first selection round, the infield assessors interviewed and evaluated 17 shortlisted civil society organisations and recommended 13 CSOs for the next selection round. Theydid an in-depth analysis of the integrity and core values of civil society organisations (respect of human rights, transparency, inclusion, working for the common good and in public interest, etc.). They also analysed the CSOs’ experience, capacity and potential to mobilise citizens to participate in problem-solving in their communities, and their proposed advocacy plans.
In the next stage of the selection process, the Validation Committee will select the final 8 civil society organisations that will be awarded local advocacy grants. We will publish the final results by the end of September 2020.
Congratulations to the civil society organisations that have been shortlisted for the next round. We encourage other civil society organisations and informal groups to follow our project activities and apply for our future grants.
