Open Solicitation

We are pleased to share with you the “CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: INCREASING CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATION (CSO) RESILIENCY IN CHANGING CIVIC SPACES.”  This is an opportunity for local civil society organizations and is a part of a larger initiative under the USAID-funded Enabling and Protecting Civic Spaces (EPCS) – Illuminating New Solutions and Programmatic Innovations for Resilient Spaces or INSPIRES activity.  

The INSPIRES consortium is seeking applications from local civil society organizations for a capacity building process to strengthen their resiliency in the face of potential impacts of growing restrictions on civic space. The Resiliency+ Process, developed out of the need for a new organizational model to combat the rise of changing civic spaces around the world, will take selected organizations through a structured process to increase their organizational resilience over a period of 12 months.

Organizations based in Ecuador, Georgia, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, and Serbia will be eligible to apply. At a minimum, organizations must be a locally registered civil society organization, have at least four years of experience, and be committed to the 12-month process. Please see the application description below for more details on how to apply.

Please feel free to contact us at resiliencyplus@partnersglobal.org with any questions or concerns.
