As a funding mechanism designed to support women-led and women’s rights organizations in crisis settings, the WPHF is particularly well placed to provide a response to the crisis and its gender dimensions. The WPHF Board approved the launch of the Call for proposals for WPHF COVID-19 emergency response window (ERW). This global call is open for 25 eligible countries which correspond to the 25 countries of WPHF. The Call for proposals offers the opportunity to apply through 2 funding streams: institutional support throughout the crisis for amounts inferior to USD 30,000 and programming funding for amounts between USD 30,000 and 200,000. The WPHF Secretariat has undertaken the longlisting and shortlisting (technical review) of the proposals received. The UN Women Country Office and UN Resident Coordinator Office have reviewed the shortlisted proposals and ranked them per order of preference, based on their knowledge and context. The WPHF Funding Board has approved the final selection.
