Does your Sudan-based women’s rights or women-led organisation work with displaced women on peacebuilding and recovery?
WPHF is accepting local Sudan civil society proposals for institutional strengthening and programme activities that support displaced women and young women’s socioeconomic recovery and participation in peacebuilding.
Funding snapshot
- Funder: Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund
- Geography: Sudan (qualified local civil society organisations)
- Funding: Institutional US$2,500–30,000; programmatic US$30,000–150,000
- Status: OPEN
- Deadline: 29 October 2026, 23:59 Geneva CET
Eligibility: best fit and restrictions
Who should consider applying: Qualifying Sudan-based local civil society organisations, particularly women’s rights and women-led groups. Programmatic proposals should address forcibly displaced women and young women, including internally displaced persons, refugees, returnees and asylum seekers, according to the call.
Important exclusion or watch-out: Institutional and programme streams require distinct application packages when requesting both. WPHF says applications must go through the official online form; email submissions are not accepted.
How to prepare a credible application
- Identify the appropriate funding stream; avoid submitting one generic proposal for two different objectives.
- Use the corresponding official template and build a clear plan for protecting displaced participants and measuring outcomes safely.
- Prepare legal registration evidence and apply through the online link on the WPHF call before the Geneva time cutoff.
The key is to demonstrate programme fit and an implementable plan, not merely align your organisation’s broad mission to the grant title. Where a narrow geographic or consortium rule applies, resolve it before committing proposal-writing time.
Evidence, budget and results checklist
A strong application normally benefits from clearly documented organisational registration and authority to apply, an evidence-backed problem statement, realistic activities and budget assumptions, meaningful monitoring indicators, partner responsibilities and safeguarding arrangements. These are Africads general preparation suggestions, not additional requirements claimed to be imposed by the funder. Use the funder’s current templates when provided.
Before investing time in a proposal, compare your legal status, geographic coverage, governance, implementation experience, beneficiary access and deadline with the funder’s own current application documents. A funding announcement is not evidence that an applicant will be accepted or awarded.
Official source and how to apply
Read the official donor announcement and eligibility guidance to find the current application documents and approved submission route. Check the portal immediately before submitting because dates, attachments and conditions can change.
