Call for applications - EarthRights International’s Mekong School

Mekong School is now acceping applications for 2012


EarthRights International’s Mekong School is a unique training program for civil society advocates from the Mekong Region (China, Burma, Lao PDR, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam) who are working on environmental and human rights issues.  The seven month-long training program focuses on the impacts of large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly hydropower dams, and how citizens are engaged in advocating for more equitable development in the Mekong region.

Through a series of field visits, students examine the the potential impacts of various projects, such as the series of hydropower dams currently planned and under construction along the mainstream of the Mekong and its tributaries, on local livelihoods and the environment. Finally, program graduates focus on ways in which they can join together as alumni to advocate for greater public participation and transparency in Mekong development planning.

The goals of the Mekong School session are:

-          for students to develop an understanding of the impacts of hydropower dams and other large-scale development projects, as well as the views and approaches of various stakeholders

-         for students to understand and analyze what methods communities have utilized for greater protection of human rights and the environment

-          to develop students’ practical skill base in research, advocacy and campaign work; and

-          to develop strong relationships, networks and concrete campaign plans for implementation upon graduation and the students’ return to their respective countries.

Our ideal candidates are individuals who are working on environmental, human rights, or community development issues, who are enthusiastic about partnering with other activists from the region and who have the capacity to become effective community leaders and/or advocates.  We have no formal education requirements, but require basic English communications skills.  The training takes place in Chiang Mai, Thailand from June to December of each year, and includes a two-month practicum in which students return to their home countries to conduct field work. Housing, transportation, and a modest living stipend are provided to successful candidates.

The deadline for applications is March 1, 2012.  For more information, please visit our website at www.earthrights.org.

To request an application form, please contact the Mekong School Coordinator at mekong@earthrights.org.

USAID, AusAID and World Vision seek Grant Proposals for Innovative Programs to Improve Child Literacy among Primary Grade Children

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), and World Vision have announced a request inviting grant proposals from interested organizations for innovative programs with potential to improve reading skills and low literacy rates among primary grade children. Through a multi-year initiative called ‘All Children Reading – A Grand Challenge for Development (ACR)’, the Founding Partners have plans to collaborate to achieve the goal of global action to improve child literacy.

All questions from interested applicants must be submitted to

Objectives

The All Children Reading Competition aims to encourage innovative thinking and design to bring new knowledge to the challenge of improving primary grade reading rapidly and at scale in certain countries. Applications from and relating to low- and lower-middle income countries are particularly encouraged.

Funding Availability

The Founding Partners anticipate funding approximately twenty-five (25) grants under this RFA. The Founding Partners reserve the right to fully or incrementally fund selected application(s) as well as to partially fund selected application(s). The Founding Partners reserve the right to make no awards at all through this RFA.

Areas of Interest

The funding partners are interested in funding innovations that will result in (1) widespread access to improved teaching and learning materials and (2) better education data to support decision-making, transparency, incentives and accountability; both of which are essential to advance the goal of All Children Reading in the primary grades.

- Innovations in Education Data to Improve Student Reading

• Develop simple approaches to allow school and local level managers to prioritize, collect, analyze and use key education-related data at the school level to improve instruction and learning outcomes;
• Improve school, regional and national level resource planning to improve learning outcomes;

Call for proposals for NGOs (Non-State Actors) by European Commission

The European Commission has issued a call for proposals for for “Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development (Development Cooperation Instrument) and Neighbourhood Civil Society Facility (European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument).

The global objective and the priorities of the present Call for Proposals are the concrete answer to the Structured Dialogue recommendations9 to the EU to “promote and support regular, structured and inclusive multi-stakeholder dialogues” through funding to “empower civil society organisations (CSOs) and local authorities (LAs) (particularly their platforms and representative organizations) to participate effectively in dialogues”.

The Priorities of this Call for Proposals:

(1) Institutional capacity building: reinforcement of internal structure and operating modalities of membership-based13 CSO networks (i.e. platforms, unions) with representativeness at regional14, continental and/or global level.15 Only proposals stemming from non-thematic16 CSO networks, with a majority of members based in partner countries17 will be considered.

(2) Empowerment of CSO networks representative at regional, continental and/or global level to participate effectively in dialogues with international organizations18 (both with global or regional scope19) and other relevant stakeholders (e.g. governmental authorities, private sector) and to have a significant impact on the regional, continental and/or global policy-making processes: actors of the initiatives should concretely strengthen their representativeness and the capacities to gather their constituencies’ views and to perform as strategic partners for key policy makers.

(3) Actions led at regional, continental and global level by relevant CSO networks, tackling problems common to more than one region (e.g. desertification, migration, water management, HIV/AIDS).  Multi-stakeholder campaigns will be supported. Service delivery actions will not be considered.

(4) Actions led by civil society organisations promoting the reinforcement of an enabling environment for civil society organisations’ activities in Neighbourhood countries.

(5) Actions led by civil society organisations which advance the political priorities of the Eastern Partnership and the priorities included in the Joint Communication “
