Application Deadline: May 11, 2015
The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) call for concept notes on “Learning from Peace in sub-Saharan Africa” falls under the grantmaking program of USIP’s Middle East and Africa Center (MEA). It is designed to support peacebuilding programs and research in Africa.
Priority will be given to local organizations, though U.S. and international organizations and universities with a strong history of work in the region may also apply. USIP supports both research projects and initiatives that focus on conflict resolution, conflict prevention, community resilience, peacebuilding and countering violent extremism.
How to Apply
This Call for Proposals involves a two-step application process.
The first step in the process is to submit a mandatory concept note. Please use the sample concept note form. Concept notes should be no longer than 3 pages. The concept note template will guide you through the process and help you formulate your proposal narrative in the following sections:
- How the proposed project seeks to engage the topic of learning from examples of peace?;
- The goals of the project and the activities that will be implemented;
- The qualifications of the organization and the project team;
- How the project will be monitored and evaluated; and
- The estimated cost of the project. (A full budget is not necessary.)
Concept Notes should be submitted to the africagrants@usip.org.
At the top of the concept note and within the body of the email, please provide the name of the implementing organization, the name of the contact person, and the email address and telephone number of the contact person.
After a review of the concept notes, a select number of applicants will be contacted and asked to submit a full proposal. USIP Grants staff will provide the application forms
