The Open Government Partnership is pleased to announce the establishment of the $50,000 Helen Darbishire Fund for Civil Society designed to strengthen open government processes and reforms across OGP member countries.
.
This fund aims to enhance civil society capacity and multi-stakeholder collaboration to help sustain OGP processes and deliver more ambitious reforms in critical areas of open government.
.
Aim
- The aim of these grants is to support core OGP processes in member countries with limited financial resourcing, focused on where real opportunities are at risk of being lost. The grants are intended to provide support for civil society organizations in countries where there is limited resourcing and where there is a financial need for OGP processes to succeed.
Funding Information
- In this pilot iteration, the OGP Secretariat will provide eight to ten grants, primarily between 10,000 USD to 25,000 USD (with grants of up to a maximum of 50,000 USD in extraordinary circumstances), seeking to support initiatives that support core OGP processes through a 6- to 18-month implementation period.
Eligibility:
- The call is open to civil society organizations (CSOs) in OGP’s 74 member countries, targeted towards countries where there is limited resourcing and where there is a financial need for OGP processes to succeed.
- CSOs must be legally registered not-for-profit organizations in their country.
- Applications from consortia of domestic CSOs, with a designated lead CSO, are also eligible to apply, clearly demonstrating roles and responsibilities. Please note that no more than one grant will be approved in any given country.
- Applicants must demonstrate a proven track record of supporting OGP processes—either through contributing to their country’s national action plan or by actively participating in their country’s OGP multi-stakeholder forum (MSF).
