The Syria office of Canada based in the Canadian Embassy in Lebanon, is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals
for the Syria Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI).
The CFLI funds small and preferably visible, results-oriented
projects which are proposed and implemented by officially registered local NGOs
and organizations working on projects supporting Syrians in Syria, Turkey,
Lebanon, or Jordan.
The CFLI fund only provides contributions
for project related expenses covered by a contribution agreement. The CFLI does
not cover over-head costs such as those related to the administration of an
organization, ongoing or recurring projects, large-scale construction, or
general budgetary needs.
The CFLI is a responsive, flexible program. This
enables Canada to respond to local needs by working at the community level.
Equally important, the CFLI serves to empower civil society and local
communities around the world. The CFLI is not to be considered an annual
sustainable source of funding. Partners receiving more than two prior grants
are discouraged from applying.
What types of projects will CFLI Fund?
- Projects must fall within one
of the 2021-2022 CFLI themes. Regardless of the theme, all projects must
address the empowerment of women and girls and promote gender equality.
- Emphasis will be placed on
innovative, accountable, and sustainable projects. Initiatives aimed at
producing concrete results will be prioritized. Projects with a communications
strategy, including social media and robust advocacy component will be
prioritized.
- The four themes are:
- Supporting the Women, Peace
and Security agenda;
- Human Rights, Justice and
Accountability;
- Media Freedom;
- Addressing the effects of
COVID19.
Funding Information
- Available Funding: the maximum
contribution for 2021/22 is CAD $60,000.
