Call for Proposals: Innovative Development Approaches to Forced DisplacementFunds for NGOs Activities:
Others Applications are invited for Innovative Development Approaches to Forced Displacement. Background:Forced displacement induced by conflict, violence, and human right violations is on the rise. Recent largescale movements of refugees are only the latest manifestation of a global crisis which is predominantly affecting low- and middle-income countries. There is a consensus that humanitarian assistance needs to be complemented by development programs in origin, host, transit, and destination countries. There is also a consensus that innovative approaches are needed, which would draw on lessons from development experience. The World Bank Group (WBG) has scaled up its interventions and programs in support of refugees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and host communities, through a combination of analytical work, policy advice, and development projects, in close cooperation with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other specialized agencies. The WBG also established the Global Program for Forced Displacement (GPFD) in 2009, which has benefited from support by Denmark, Germany, Norway,and Switzerland, to catalyze an enhanced development response to the challenge of forced displacement. In parallel, a number of practitioners, from development agencies to the private sector, civil society, and academia, have been developing new approaches to better respond to the crisis. Objective:GPFD is issuing a call for proposals to bring to the fore innovative and transformational ideas aimed at improving the development response to forced displacement – whether through analytical work, policy advice, use of new technologies, or development projects. A template for Expressions of Interest (EOI) is attached. It is expected that many innovative ideas are still at an inception stage, and may need further work to become “bankable” – i.e. to be sufficiently detailed and specific for donors or investors to support them. GPFD will provide up to $40,000 for selected teams to develop their idea into a full concept note (which would meet WBG standards, see template attached). These resources can be used to finance staff time, operational travel, and consultancy services as may be necessary. For WBG teams, these resources cannot be used to substitute for resources which are typically provided as part of the regular budget process (e.g.,project preparation). Successful teams will be expected to produce a full-fledged Concept Note by end-April 2016. Requests for funding for implementation will be examined on a case-by-case basis: depending on the amounts required, on the strategic relevance of the concept, and on feasibility / desirability criteria, GPFD may decide to provide the necessary resources, to help mobilize financing by third party, or not to further support. The provision of resources to develop a concept note does not imply a commitment to finance implementation – and it is expected that not all fully developed ideas will be supported through implementation.
