Activities Supported by UNIFEM

Under its small grants facility (Regional Facility) and its special fund in support of EVAW initiatives (Trust Fund in Support of Actions to Eliminate Violence Against Women), UNIFEM provides support to a number of projects located across the region, from Jamaica in the North, through the OECS, to Trinidad & Tobago in the South, representing the spread of countries covered by the agency. The projects fall under the four UNIFEM goals – and have ranged from computer literacy training, to providing training for young women leaders, to examining media images of women.

 

Who Can Apply for UNIFEM Support?

Project Proposals may be submitted by registered non-governmental organisations, community-based organisations or inter-governmental organisations. However, UNIFEM does not support the following: rental/purchase of buildings, purchase of land/property, or construction/repair of buildings (including shelters), or fixed capital outlays; salaries; personal scholarships/fellowships; general operating expenses, direct services such as hotlines and counselling services; projects with major focus on population, childcare, health, refugees or other fields for which there are other established UN funds.
