Call for Proposals for Bangladeshi media & civil society Collapse
The Collaboration Lab is a small grants project for alliances of Bangladeshi media and CSOs and aims to promote collaboration on issues that are important and relevant to Bangladeshi citizens, stimulate the development of innovative solutions and facilitate knowledge exchange and (mutual) learning. The Collaboration Lab is part of the programme “Joining Forces: CSOs and Media for Accountability in Bangladesh”, implemented by Free Press Unlimited and ARTICLE19 Bangladesh and South Asia, and funded by the European Union.
In the Collaboration Lab, media and CSOs are invited to form alliances and jointly apply for a one-year subgrant. In the 2023 round, we ask alliances to submit a proposal to set up an initiative focused on mutual learning. A panel of judges will then assess the proposals and select 5 alliances to receive a grant of a maximum of 60,000 EUR.
In addition to the financial support, selected alliances will have access to tailor-made capacity-building packages that include training and coaching on digital security, gender and inclusion, internal governance, and internal systems and procedures.
