Call for project proposals: Support for non-governmental organizations in combating human trafficking

We are kindly asking all applicants to read carefully the text of the Call before starting the application process and submitting their project proposal.

Within the USAID INSPIRE Human Rights Project, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) empowers BiH citizens and authorities to improve human rights protection and provide better employment services and opportunities to marginalized groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

USAID INSPIRE continues the achievements of the USAID’s Marginalized Populations Support Program (2015-2020). This program has built the capacity of NGOs to cooperate with authorities at all levels. The program provided support for advocating systemic solutions to the problems faced by marginalized groups. Marginalized groups in BiH continue to face major challenges. That is why it is crucial to continuously provide support to those who need it, including victims of human trafficking.

USAID INSPIRE invites non-governmental organizations registered in Bosnia and Herzegovina (associations and foundations established under the laws on associations and foundations in BiH) to submit their project proposals under the Support for NGOs in Combating Human Trafficking component.

The following cannot apply: public institutions, government institutions, companies, religious organizations, political entities, as well as international non-governmental organizations that do not have their registered office in Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with the laws on associations and foundations in BiH.

All project activities must be implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Project proposals can be submitted for all or part of the funds needed for the implementation of the project.

The total available funds under this Call are 750,000 BAM. The minimum amount of funds requested from USAID INSPIRE may not be less than 50,000 BAM, and the maximum amount of funds requested may not exceed 250,000 BAM. The duration of the project cannot be shorter than 6 months or longer than 24 months.
