Inclusive Action for Climate Change
The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (SCA) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out the “Inclusive Action for Climate Change” program to promote gender equity in climate policymaking and programs in selected countries in South Asia. The project will strengthen the capacity of women-led organizations in selected countries in South Asia to participate meaningfully in political discussions regarding national and local policies on climate change adaptation; advance the role of women in community-led conflict resolution arising from the climate crisis and its effects; and assist women-led organizations to advocate for and achieve gender equity and equality in climate change adaptation efforts, including in emergency preparedness and recovery from climate-related disasters. Supporting regional networks will develop collaborative work practices, skills in community organizing, governmental advocacy, and community outreach on our shared climate crisis burdens. Please see the NOFO document for further details.
