Influencing grants are meant for (more established) organisations and networks to strengthen their lobby and advocacy capacities and amplify the voice of marginalised and discriminated groups. Voice will therefore prioritise applications focusing upon Women facing exploitation, abuse and violence, ethnic minorities and youth. Voice in Uganda is especially interested in receiving applications that consider cross-marginalisation – that is interventions that acknowledge the different levels of marginalisation among a target group and develop strategies to reach the most marginalised and discriminated people of a particular target group. Such groups are more likely to face further exclusion due to multiple factors of marginalisation. For Uganda, influencing grants range from €25,000 to €200,000.

This call for proposals is closed, so application is no longer possible. Please come back here at a later stage to learn about the grantees that have been selected in this call for proposals.

Calls for Proposals for Influencing grants will be opened once a year, while for Empowerment, Innovate and Learn and Sudden Opportunity grants we accept proposals on a rolling basis. The current open calls for proposals can be found here.
