The UNOPS Peace and Security
Cluster is inviting proposals for the grant project: Strengthening national
humanitarian mine action capacity in the central regions of Mali.
The Grantee shall have exclusive control over the administration
and implementation of this project; however, both the quality of the Grantee’s
work and the progress being made toward successfully achieving the activities
and outputs of the project shall be subject to review by UNOPS.
The activities requested in this CFP are divided
in two Sectors within the same geographic/administrative locations in Mali
(hereinafter referred to as “central regions of Mali”):
- Development of national
capacities through the implementation of Explosive Ordnance Risk Education
(EORE), Non-Technical Survey (NTS), Community Liaison (CL), Community
Violence Reduction activities (CVR), Identification and Referral of
Victims, and First Aid Training.
- Development of national
capacities through the implementation of Explosive Ordnance Victim
Assistance Activities (VA), Emergency Risk Education and First Aid
Training.
Impact: The population in Mali is safer and more secure as a result
of the reduced threat posed by explosive ordnance.
Outcome: National authorities have the capacity to lead and manage
the mine action response, which is implemented through civil society.
Outcome Indicator: Increase the number of national NGOs with mine action capacity who
are independently deployed.
Target Beneficiaries
- Applicable to Sector 1: The
primary beneficiaries of this project shall be NNGOs that will benefit
from capacity reinforcement for the implementation of humanitarian mine
action activities and their management capacities to operate as a
humanitarian mine action actor in Mali. In turn, the Malian NNGO(s) will
deliver benefits to the communities impacted by the threat of explosive
ordnance, SALW and conflict-related risks, with a focus on youth,
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees, as well as community
leaders and adults.
- Applicable to Sector 2: The
primary beneficiaries of this project shall be National Non-Governmental
Organizations(s) (NNGOs) that will benefit from capacity reinforcement for
the implementation of humanitarian mine action activities. In turn the
Malian NNGO(s) will deliver benefits to the communities impacted by the
threat of explosive ordnance, SALW and conflict-related risks, with a
focus on explosive ordnance and SALW victims in the respect of gender and
diversity
Funding Information
- The maximum budget available
for the two-year project in Sector 1 is $1,000,000.
- The maximum budget available for the two-year project in Sector 2 is also $1,000,000.
Location(s)
The projects shall be
implemented in all the ‘cercles’ of Mopti and two ‘cercles’ of Segou (Niono and
Macina). Therefore, areas of deployment in terms of cercles, communes and
villages will be determined in agreement with UNMAS Mali, on a roving basis,
prioritizing the most affected areas and considering security conditions.
Eligibility Criteria
- Grant applications shall only
be accepted from International not-for-profit Non-Governmental
Organisations (INGOs) that are registered to operate in Mali. No
governmental agencies, departments, or ministries are eligible.
- Lead INGO: Must demonstrate 5
years of experience related to the capacity-building of national
institutions, organisations or authorities involved directly in
humanitarian mine action context, using an inclusive approach to capacity
building. This experience can be drawn from global activities and does NOT
have to be specific to Mali.
- Sub-grantee / NNGO: if the NNGO
has any relevant experience in capacity-building relevant to the
activities specified in this CFP, detail (along with time period) of
activities should be presented.
