Africads Consultants: Growth Partner For Nonprofits and Churches, We're remote based, Nairobi (2026)

03/10/2026

Can your institution lead a high-value rural-policy assessment initiative and contribute at least 20% of the grant value?

IFAD has re-advertised its implementing-partner call for “Leveraging IFAD’s Rural Sector Performance Assessment for Policy and Investment.”

💰 Grant: Up to US$1.2 million
🤝 Counterpart contribution:
• At least 20% for nonprofit, university, research and other non-private recipients
• At least 25% for private-sector recipients
• In-kind contributions may be considered

⏰ Deadline: Oct 6, 2026 at 23:59 CEST (UTC+2, Rome)

Who can apply:
• Nonprofit organizations
• Private-sector companies
• Universities
• Think tanks and research institutes
• Consortia of eligible institutions

Best fit:
Institutions with demonstrated rural-policy research, comparative assessment, applied data, stakeholder engagement and high-value grant-management capacity—plus relevant experience in the theme and implementation countries.

Mandatory submission package:
• IFAD Grant Concept Note template aligned to the Grant Identification Note
• Activity-based budget template
• Correct bidder self-certification of eligibility
• Acceptance of the Grant Design Document framework
• Institutional profile showing thematic and geographic experience

Key watch-outs:
• This is an implementing-partner grant, not a small community-project call.
• The counterpart contribution is material and should be approved and documented before writing.
• Existing applicants may submit an updated or replacement proposal; IFAD will assess the latest version received before the revised deadline.
• The concept note, budget, certification and institutional profile must tell the same implementation story.

Africads tip:
Build a compliance matrix first. Map every requirement from the Grant Identification Note, concept-note template and evaluation method to an owner, evidence source and final submission file.

Is your feminist group, collective or organization based in—or working across—the Middle East and North Africa and building movements for women, LBTQ+ communities or gender justice?

💜 The Doria Feminist Fund (DFF) Grantmaking Cycle 7 is now open, providing flexible support to feminist groups and organizations across the MENA region. DFF officially announced that Cycle 7 opened on 7 September 2026 and closes on 19 October 2026.

Eligible applicants include:

✅ Registered feminist groups
✅ Unregistered feminist groups and collectives
✅ New and emerging groups
✅ Established feminist groups developing new work
✅ Groups across the MENA region

🚫 Individuals cannot apply. DFF funds collective feminist work. It especially prioritizes new and emerging groups, groups that have never received funding before, and work led by women and trans* groups and collectives. Applications can be submitted in Arabic, English or French.

Current open-call grant pathways include:

💜 Core Funding for Emerging Groups — flexible core support, primarily for new feminist groups.
💜 Project Funds — for established groups developing a new programme or activity.
💜 Knowledge Production Funds — supporting feminist knowledge creation and dissemination.

DFF also operates an Emergency Response Grant, but applicants should verify directly on the grant portal whether it forms part of this specific Cycle 7 application process.

💰 Funding amount for Cycle 7: Not disclosed on the official public Cycle 7 pages reviewed.

📅 Project duration: Not disclosed.
💵 Cost share: Not disclosed.

⏰ Deadline: 19 October 2026

DFF does not pre-determine narrow thematic priorities for its open calls. Its review process considers eligible applications alongside movement priorities and DFF’s strategic direction, with an activist review committee participating in assessment and shortlisting.

Before applying:

Explain clearly how your work contributes to feminist movement building.
Choose the grant type that matches your group’s stage and purpose.
Describe your priorities in your own voice rather than forcing the work into donor jargon.
Show why your work matters in its specific political and community context.
Prepare early for potential follow-up and due-diligence questions.

What project would your organization apply for?

02/10/2026

Does your organization work to prevent gender-based violence, protect survivors, or strengthen systems that protect children from violence in Europe?

The European Commission has opened the CERV-2026-DAPHNE Call for Proposals under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme.

💰 Indicative call budget: €21 million

Protecting and supporting victims and survivors of gender-based violence.
Preventing gender-based violence.
Supporting implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence and the EU Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence.
Strengthening integrated child-protection systems, including cross-sector collaboration and child-centred responses to violence.
Who may be relevant?

The European Commission’s work programme identifies target applicants including:

✅ Public authorities
✅ Victim and survivor support services
✅ Civil society organizations.

Exact consortium, country and entity requirements differ by topic, so applicants must check the specific Funding & Tenders Portal topic before proceeding.

Before applying
Choose one Daphne priority that fits your organization’s actual work.
Build the proposal around evidence of violence, service gaps or prevention needs.
Explain how victims, survivors or children will benefit.
Demonstrate appropriate safeguarding and organizational capacity.
Identify required partners early where the topic requires a consortium.

What project would your organization apply for?

02/10/2026

Is your civil society organization based in an ODA-eligible developing country and already experienced in managing development funding?

🇫🇷 The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) has opened its 2026 Call for Expressions of Project Intentions for Civil Society Organizations, designed to shortlist projects for potential financing in 2027.

This year, AFD has introduced one combined call for both French CSOs and locally governed CSOs.

For locally governed CSOs, eligibility is specific.

Organizations must be registered in a country eligible for Official Development Assistance under the OECD-DAC list and must generally have already received funding at least once for a completed project from an AFD Group entity — directly or through another lead CSO — or from a French embassy under the conditions set by AFD.

🌍 Eligible geography: ODA-eligible countries under the OECD-DAC list

⭐ Priority is given to:

✅ Least Developed Countries
✅ Countries particularly vulnerable to climate change

The mechanism supports civil-society initiatives that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, international solidarity, stronger local civil society capacity and concrete benefits for communities.

💰 Funding amount per project: Not disclosed on the main call page. Applicants must consult the 2026 Terms of Reference and methodological guide for detailed co-financing conditions.

⏰ Deadline: 9 October 2026 at 18:00 Paris time

⏳ 30 days left as of 9 September 2026

⚠️ Important earlier deadline: Organizations that do not already have an OSCar account must request account creation by 15 September 2026.

That leaves only 6 days to request a new account.

Before applying:

Confirm that your organization meets the local-CSO eligibility conditions.
Check whether your previous completed funding qualifies under AFD’s rules.
Make sure your proposed project contributes clearly to the SDGs and strengthens civil society.
Review the 2026 Terms of Reference and methodological guide carefully.
Create your OSCar account immediately if you do not already have one.

🔗 Official AFD call:
https://zurl.co/itgXe

🔗 Submission is through the official OSCar platform. Project intentions submitted outside OSCar will not be considered.

Always verify the full eligibility, co-financing rules and required documents directly in AFD’s official 2026 call documents before submitting.
