Selected CSOs will receive a grant of USD $5,000 to carry out activities, such as:

- Engagements with local communiites
- 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 Friday, 20 March 2026. Selected CSOs will be notified in early April. Activities must be completed by September 2026. Grant recipients will receive the grant after completing all of the agreed activities and submitting a final report and blog.
