Collaboration Grants for promoting Adolescent and Youth SRHR in East and Southern Africa
About
Hivos is seeking proposals for its Collaboration Grants to support advocacy collaboration efforts and initiatives by consortia or networks with the aim to reinforce collaboration and networks of Civil Society Organizations.
The purpose is to amplify voices and promote collaboration in promoting adolescent and youth Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in East and Southern Africa.
The grant will focus on supporting advocacy initiatives, and strengthen them so that they can bring about positive change using the drivers of change as stated below:
Strategic engagement and policy dialogues for young people to engage duty bearers are made possible
Civil Society Organizations have enhanced spaces to air out SRHR issues affecting young people
Supporting legal environment and political will to repeal and replace restrictive retrogressive laws
Young people have the necessary technical expertise to undertake advocacy work
Funding Information
Award amount: Year 1: USD 100,000 / Year 2: USD 100,000
Project duration: Multi Year
Expected Key Results
Improved engagement of policy makers/legislatures, law enforcers, politicians, religious & community leaders.
Enhanced capacity for young people to undertake advocacy on SRHR issues affecting them.
The key results should ultimately result in duty bearers increasingly designing, adopting and implementing laws and practices that promote the SRHR of adolescents and young people. The Fund is committed to bringing about long-lasting, sustainable change, but also understands that the best way to do so is through collective action.
Preference will be given to:

Proposals that factor in the linkage between SRHR and environmental matters such as climate change will be highly considered.
