This fund will focus on specific issues that demonstrate on-the-ground impact. The three specific themes that concept bids for Libya must focus on are:
Gender Based Violence – project bids that aim to address gender violence, for example sexual violence in conflict, by working with communities and local partners;
Judiciary reform and training – project bids that aim to strengthen the Libyan Criminal Justice System in a conflict sensitive way, for example by informing reforms and governance structures, oversight, investigatory techniques, evidence gathering/handing, and human rights;
Persons with Disabilities – project bids that target the people with disabilities in Libya.
All organizations are invited to submit a concept bid of maximum two pages plus a 1 page budget by the 10 February deadline. Anticipated processes for those who are interested are:
