About

The UNICEF–Government of Burkina Faso Cooperation Programme 2027–2030 seeks civil society partners to support the delivery of integrated services for children, adolescents, and women across key social sectors. The programme aims to address persistent inequalities in access to essential services, particularly in rural and insecure areas, underserved urban communities, and locations hosting displaced or returning populations. Interventions will focus on improving access to quality and inclusive education, health, nutrition, child protection, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, while promoting behaviour change, social protection, and community accountability. Activities will be implemented in the Est, Nord, Sahel, Centre-Est, and Hauts-Bassins regions of Burkina Faso. Through this call, UNICEF seeks partners capable of contributing to measurable and sustainable outcomes for vulnerable populations, strengthening locally led responses, and enhancing the capacities of national and local actors. Partnership agreements are expected to cover the period from 2027 to 2030. The call does not specify a grant amount.

Eligibility

Applications are open to legally recognized national and international civil society organizations, including consortia. Eligible applicants must demonstrate relevant technical expertise in one or more of the programme’s thematic areas, possess transparent governance structures and adequate operational and financial management capacity, and maintain a physical presence in the proposed implementation regions. Organizations should be able to deliver integrated, community-responsive interventions in challenging operating environments and demonstrate their capacity to achieve measurable results for children, adolescents, and women. Evaluation will consider the applicant’s technical competencies, operational readiness, local presence, accountability mechanisms, and ability to support sustainable and locally led development approaches.
