Call for Proposals CLIMATE SECURITY RESPONSE Bangladesh

The Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) has issued a Call for Proposals for grants to local civil society organizations in Bangladesh, focusing on women's participation and leadership in preventing climate-related conflicts and injustice, and in economic and political decision-making related to climate security and justice. The call aims to contribute to peaceful and gender-equal societies, particularly reaching women and girls experiencing multiple forms of discrimination. Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts despite being a low contributor to global emissions, with climate-related disasters increasing in intensity and frequency, disproportionately affecting women and girls due to existing gender inequalities. The grants are available for projects with a geographical focus on specific sub-districts in Cox's Bazar, and districts including Bandarban, Bhola, Chattagram, Comilla, Feni, Jamalpur, Khulna, Kurigram, Noakhali, Satkhira, Sirajganj, Sunamganj, and Sylhet, with a maximum duration of two years. Eligible applicants are national, regional, or local/grassroots women-led, women's rights, youth rights, feminist, or civil society organizations legally registered in Bangladesh, with a proven track record of working with women, young women, and girls. Both institutional and programmatic funding are available, ranging from USD $2,500 - $30,000 for institutional funding and USD $30,000 - $200,000 for programmatic funding. The deadline for submissions is July 27, 2025.
