  • About

    Are you a new and/or informal group that is led by one of Voice’s target groups? Do you want to learn how to (better) work together?  Do you want to work on leadership and/or increasing confidence of and within your group members? Do you want to embark on a journey to change attitudes and/or social norms in Laos towards your target group?

    If you answered “yes” to the questions above, then consider applying to this Call for Proposals.

    What do we wish to fund?

    This Call for Proposals will help Voice in Laos meet its objectives. Voice will fund projects that focus on the following target groups:

    • People with disabilities
    • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI)
    • Indigenous people and ethnic minorities

    With at least one of the following target groups as a cross-cutting issue?

    • Age discriminated vulnerable groups notably the young or elderly
    • Women facing exploitation, abuse and/or violence

    Often the most marginalised and discriminated are those who may be vulnerable due to multiple reasons. Therefore, Voice has a strong preference for projects that intend to work with more than one target group to address overlapping vulnerabilities.

    Your project can look at any or all of the following themes:

    • Improved access to (productive) resources (finance, land and water) and employment,
    • Improved access to social services, health and education in particular, and
    • Fostering space for citizen participation

    Your grant can be from €5,000 to €25,000 and from 12 to 24 months in duration.

    Who do we wish to fund?

    Applications are only being accepted from locally registered Lao organisations as lead applicant. International organisations are not able to be a lead applicant but can team up as a co-applicant in the case of consortium applications.

    The (lead) applicant must be target group-led. This means that the target group that the organisation aims to represent governs and manages the organisation and the principle of Nothing About Us Without Us guide the work.

    Grants
    From the numerous applications received the following grantees have been successful as part of this Call for Proposals. If you like to join Voice please see the current list of open Calls for Proposals
