NGO Call for proposals: Promotion of climate adapted self-reliance and resilience in refugee hosting areas in Turkana County through economic development and financial inclusion activities

Danida is partnering with the Poul Due Jensen/Grundfos Foundation to award a total of DKK 80 million for support to self-reliance, resilience building and access to water in Turkana County, Kenya.

By joining forces, we will build resilience and increase local communities’ ability to better cope with the effects of climate change by providing access to safe water and increased economic opportunities.  

The call has two windows with connected objectives

  • Window 1: Provide effective and prioritised support to self-reliance, including to expanded economic opportunities and financial inclusion with a focus on strengthening resilience and climate adaptive capacity of refugees and host communities in Turkana County.
  • Window 2: Enhance access to safe water in host and refugee settings in Turkana County, including for livelihood/productive use and improved sanitation in a sustainable way. All the tree elements of sustainability (Financial, Environment and social) need to be addressed.

The full proposal and attachments should be sent by email no later than 12 May 2023 at 17:00 (CET) to the Royal Danish Embassy in Nairobi [email protected] and Nils Thorup, Grundfos Foundation, [email protected]
