Call for Proposal (CFP) for Responsible Parties Civil Society Organizations: Action Now, Result Now: Women and Youth organizations lead transformative actions to eliminate violence against women and girls in the Kyrgyz Republic/LOT I and II

EN. UN Women invites qualified women-led civil society and youth organizations in the Kyrgyz Republic to implement community-based interventions under the Zero VAWG Initiative. Partners will strengthen organizational capacities, co-create and implement the “Zero VAWG Community” model, promote positive social norms, engage communities in preventing violence against women and girls, build sustainable partnerships, and advance digital communication, advocacy, knowledge-sharing, and learning for lasting impact. 

Under the Zero VAWG Initiative, the UN Women Country Office seeks to engage qualified women-led civil society organizations (CSOs) and youth organizations to design and implement high-impact, community-based interventions aimed at preventing and responding to violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the Kyrgyz Republic. Selected partners will be expected to contribute to the achievement of the project’s outcome and outputs, with a strong focus on community, institution-level transformation, capacity development, and promotion of positive social norms. The Applicant should demonstrate how their proposed methodology contributes simultaneously to Outputs 1, 2 and the complementary activities under Output 3 rather than treating them as isolated interventions.
