The Concept Note application form requires you to outline the problem your organisation is trying to address, how you will address this problem and your capabilities to respond. It will also require completion of an outline budget. Please ensure you complete this form in full and ensure that it meets our application criteria outlined in this document. Concept Notes that are not well aligned to our criteria will not be taken further. 

Deadline: All applications must be received by 23:59 GMT on March 29th 2016. Please remember to upload all required attachments including the completed letter of declaration, contact details of your trustees, proof of your organisation’s registered status, a copy of your last set of audited accounts, a list of your sources of funding for the previous year and a summary budget.

How 2016 Proposals Should Be Targeted

PACF’s 2016 Call for Proposals is focused on non-governmental and community-based organisations that can deliver change at a community level through their links with or representation of the communities affected. Please take into account the following criteria when developing your proposal.

i. New Project

Your project must consist of new work that has not been previously funded. It can include projects transferred to a new location(s) and/or include the expansion of a recently tested model or pilot. It may not be a continuation of a previously funded activity/service. 

ii. Community Focus

The PACF aims to alleviate the impact of HIV and AIDS on women and children’s health by supporting interventions that engage affected communities, developing their capacity to participate and lead.

Community engagement, participation and/or leadership are mandatory requirements for all PACF grants - your proposal must demonstrate how your work will engage, involve or empower affected communities.
