UN Trust Fund for Women to End Violence Against Women 2016- GuidelinesFunds for NGOs Activities:
Women/Gender,Others The 2016 Call for Proposals 3.1. Guiding Principles of the UN Trust Fund The UN Trust Fund promotes initiatives based on the following principles: • Human rights-based and gender-responsive approaches that place paramount priority on promoting, protecting and fulfilling the human rights of all women and girls, as well as strengthening institutional capacities at local and national levels to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. • Focus on impact, specific and measurable results which make a concrete difference in lives of women and girls. • Holistic and multi-sectoral responses that address women and girl’s inter-related rights and needs in terms of prevention and response to violence, including safety and protection, access to health, legal, property and inheritance rights, and economic security and rights. • Focus on underserved groups, especially excluded or disadvantaged women and girls (such as women and girls with disabilities, LBT, internally displaced and refugees, indigenous, older and members of ethnic minorities), ensuring responsiveness to diversity. • Coordination and partnership-building, including among government entities, civil society organizations, especially women-led and small organization, women’s specialist service providers and EVAW thematic networks. • Commitment to sharing knowledge, by documenting, monitoring, evaluating and disseminating results. • Evidence-based programming, building on documented research, lessons learned and recommended practices, to ensure optimal results and use of resources. Invitation for Proposals With its 20th funding cycle in 2016, the UN Trust Fund will fund organizations that qualify for grants: (1) under the three programmatic areas of the UN Trust Fund’s 2015-2020 Strategy; (2) under the “special window” addressing violence against women and girls in the context of the current refugee crisis; and (3) under the "By Invitation only” category. In all cases, emphasis will be placed on the applicant’s ability to clearly articulate the contextual challenges, expected, specific and measurable results and strategies to achieve them, with a focus on tailored approaches and interventions to adequately address the proposed form of violence. Special attention will be paid to women’s rights, women-led and small organizations (including youth organizations), as well as to the institutions and organizations working with local women’s rights organizations. The ideal proposal will include references to rigorous and documented evidence to justify the investment on the basis that the approach is likely to be effective in addressing violence against women and girls at the local or national level. As the UN Trust Fund aims to expand the global knowledge base on ‘what works’ to end violence against women and girls, applications from organizations piloting,testing, up-scaling or replicating evidence-based innovative and promising results-based approaches that carry a promise of broader application are also welcome.
