Deadline: 29 August 2014
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has announced
a Call for Proposals for the 2014 DAPC Grants to provide funding support
to NGOs in low- and middle-income countries. Proposed projects have to
connect youth to the activities of the UNODC Youth Initiative. The grant
has been issued with the support of the Drug Abuse Prevention Centre
(DAPC) of Japan.
Grant funding under this Call for Proposals shall be provided to projects
that:
-are focused on prevention on substance use. This is assessed on the basis
of how well the project activities are in line with the International
Standards on Drug Prevention and follow the evidence based practices for
prevention work targeting youth presented in these standards.
-are targeting youth;
-support the active participation of youth in their communities;
-are initiated, planned, managed, implemented, monitored and/or
evaluated by youth;
-connect youth to the activities of the UNODC Youth Initiative
(www.unodc.org/youth), also through its visibility in social media.
Any grant awarded under this grants programme will be for a maximum of
USD 10,000, but generally not under USD 5,000, to be paid typically in
one instalment.
The following types of projects are not eligible:
-projects concerned only or mainly with individual sponsorships for
participation in workshops, seminars, conferences, congresses;
-projects concerned only or mainly with individual scholarships for
studies or training courses;
-one-off workshops, conferences and seminars:
-they can only be funded if
they form part of a wider range of activities to be implemented in the
life-time of the project.
-credit or loan schemes
-debts and provisions for losses or debts
-projects which consist exclusively or primarily of capital expenditure
e.g. land, buildings, equipment, vehicles, etc. These can be better dealt
