#FridayFundingFocus, 7 August 2026 – Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation
Opportunity: Women, Peace and Security
The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) is responsible for managing large parts of Norway’s development assistance to other countries. Beyond funding, it provides expert advice and monitors results to help ensure that Norwegian development policy makes a real difference for people, the environment and the climate.
The objective of this call for proposals is to support interventions that contribute to women and girls participating meaningfully in peace processes and political dialogue, and their priorities increasingly inform decisions and implementation.
Norad will support civil society partners that have “Women, Peace and Security” as their core mandate, aligned with the Norwegian Action Plan for Women, Peace and Security (2023-2030).
Priority thematic areas include women’s participation in peace processes, implementation of peace- and ceasefire agreements and transitional justice, conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and protection of women human rights defenders.
Value: Not specified
