Partnership: Funding opportunity for women civil society organisations

Inclusive Peace has partnered with the Women Peace and Humanitarian Fund Rapid Response Window – a funding mechanism that addresses the funding gap on women’s participation in peace processes.

What is it?
The Rapid Response Window is a funding mechanism that supports the participation of women peacebuilders and women’s civil society organisations in national, subnational and international formal peace processes and the monitoring and implementation of peace agreements.

Why the Rapid Response Window?
Women have a right to meaningful participation, yet financial barriers still exclude them from peace processes worldwide. The Rapid Response Window supports urgent services and initiatives that facilitate women’s access and influence on peace processes and the implementation of peace agreements.

What’s Inclusive Peace’s role?
As a partner of the Rapid Response Window, we provide technical expertise and advisory support to local and grassroots civil society organisations to ensure women’s access and influence in track 1 and track 2 peace processes. The costs for our experts and advisors are covered through our partnership with the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund.

Who can apply?
This Rapid Response Window is open to peace processes in all ODA eligible countries with a track 1 or track 2 peace process. Organizations applying for support do not require legal registration.

What else?
This new funding mechanism addresses the gap for financial support for women’s participation in peace processes that has been lacking for decades. Now it is about getting the word out to eligible women-led civil society organisations that seek to have an impact on peace in their countries through this new mechanism.

How can you help?
Share what the Rapid Response Window is and how to apply with your network on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook or send directly to people or organisations that can benefit from this mechanism.
