IRM launches 2025 Advocacy Grant for CSOs
To strengthen the Independent Redress Mechanism’s (IRM) presence at the community level and raise awareness about its mission and values, the IRM invites Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to submit proposals for a grant to assist the IRM with communications and outreach to local communities.
Eligible CSOs must have participated in one of the IRM’s previous in-person workshops, held in Rwanda, Morocco or Vietnam.
Selected CSOs will receive a grant of USD $2,500 to carry out activities, such as:
- إنشاء إعلانات مدفوعة على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي
- تنظيم ورش عمل / ندوات عبر الإنترنت افتراضية أو شخصية
- توزيع المواد المطبوعة أو الرقمية (الكتيبات والنشرات والنشرات الإخبارية وما إلى ذلك)
- إنشاء لوحات إعلانية عامة أو إعلانات أخرى
The grant can be used to cover direct costs related to specific activities (internet access, related software, postage, printing, social media and local media ads, registration fees, etc.) and human resources or administrative costs.
Proposals must be submitted by Wednesday, 27 August 2025. Selected CSOs will be notified in early September. Activities must be completed by 30 November 2025. Grant recipients will receive the grant after completing all of the agreed activities and submitting a final report.
