Within the EU-funded “Future Today: Empowering women, youth and children for deepening democracy in Armenia” project UNDP Armenia’s Kolba Lab opens a special call for proposals aimed to support civil society organizations, making them more resilient against shocks and crisis. The project has envisaged support for proposals suggesting solutions and innovative models towards collaborative action on the national and municipal level, citizen participation schemes, new oversight, and monitoring mechanisms, and peer-to-peer support actions, responding to the emerging challenges of 2020. The call is aligned with the ongoing ADB/OGP global initiative to ensure government accountability and responsiveness during COVID-19 and the new regional “EU for Integrity Action for the Eastern Partnership” initiative, which includes support to OGP in enhancing EaP government and civil society dialogue on accountability and transparency reforms.
 
The call is open to registered CSOs, and informal Initiative Groups in Armenia while preference will be given to CSOs and consortia with Tech Sector companies. The selected proposals will receive potential funding of up to USD 30,000 for pilots in Armenia to be implemented over a period of a maximum of 12 months. Up to 5 projects will be funded through the current Call.

The deadline for submissions is December 10, 2020.
