Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) has launched its second call for proposals in Uganda and seeks to fund qualifying projects that are high impact, innovative, and contribute directly to women’s participation in conflict prevention, international reporting and response systems, increasing the capacity of local women’s organisations to identify and respond to threats, and early warning systems and mechanisms that offer opportunities for dialogue and peaceful engagement.
The WPHF is governed at the global level by a Funding Board, which is comprised of four UN entities (currently UN Women, UNDP, UNFPA and PBSO), four donor Member States (currently Canada, the European Union, Germany and the Netherlands), as well as four Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) (currently ICAN, GPPAC, Women Enabled International and the Transitional Justice Institute).
