This widespread problem takes a variety of forms, including sexual, psychological, community, economic, institutional, and intimate partner violence, and in turn affects nearly every aspect of a person’s life, including health, education, and economic and political opportunities.

USAID Partnership Opportunities in India www.usaid.gov/india/work-with-us/partnership-opportunitiesUSAID Partnership Opportunities in India The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is committed to increasing the sustainable impact of our development cooperation programs with India through partnerships. Globally, and in India, the availability of private resources far surpasses the level of official development assistance. Partnerships enable USAID/India to leverage private sector assets, innovation, markets and expertise, as well as public resources, from a variety of contributors. The India Partnerships Program is designed to catalyze, facilitate, and support such collaboration toward shared objectives in such important areas as maternal and child health, control of infectious diseases, the promotion of clean and renewable energy, early literacy, water access, and food security. USAID/India�??s five-year Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) for the period 2012- 2017 recognizes that major global development challenges remain for which different solutions, approaches and resources are needed to effect the magnitude of change required to meet these challenges in a cost-effective, sustainable manner. Hence, the CDCS envisions a shift towards building partnerships that enable private and public sector actors to collaborate with USAID/India, to contribute significant resources and to identify innovative solutions to development problems. These are then tested, diffused and scaled to engage and benefit base-of-the-pyramid populations in India and across the globe. USAID defines innovations as those interventions that utilize novel business models or products or services that lead to dramatic improvements (not incremental ones) in addressing development challenges. Innovation can incorporate science and technology, but this integration is not mandatory. Innovation should help produce significant development outcomes more effectively, more cheaply, more sustainably, that reach more beneficiaries, and in a shorter period of time. Ideally, such innovations would provide a significantly amplified and/or accelerated positive development result. USAID/India also recognizes that India�??s new Companies Bill, with its provisions on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), provides a tremendous opportunity to merge private funding with donor objectives. These new provisions, applicable from April 1, 2014 onward, stipulate that qualified companies should spend at least 2% of their average net profit from the previous three years on eligible CSR activities. In light of this new rule, USAID/India is seeking to partner with companies in order to provide an attractive vehicle through which Indian companies can not only fulfill their CSR obligations, but also work with USAID/India to achieve shared development objectives.

World Bank with NGOs(Civil Society) go.worldbank.org/G7NNVSLX30The World Bank first began to interact with civil society in the 1970s through dialogue with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on environmental concerns. Today the World Bank consults and collaborates with thousands of members of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) throughout the world, such as community-based organizations, NGOs, social movements, labor unions, faith-based groups, and foundations. The World Bank has learned through these three decades of interaction that the participation of CSOs in government development projects and programs can enhance their operational performance by contributing local knowledge, providing technical expertise, and leveraging social capital. Further, CSOs can bring innovative ideas and solutions, as well as participatory approaches, to solving local problems. The overview section of this website provides information on the Bank�??s evolving relationship with civil society.

Eurpean Commission Funding ec.europa.eu/europeaid/work/funding/index_en.htmGrants are awarded as donations to third parties that are engaged in external aid activities. Procurement procedures are launched when the Contracting Authority wants to purchase a service, goods or work in exchange for remuneration. Procedures for grants and contracts under the relevant EU external aid programmes are consolidated in the Practical Guide. GRANTS- Grants are direct financial contributions from the EU budget or from the European Development Fund. They are awarded as donations to third parties that are engaged in external aid activities. The Contracting Authority awards grants that are used to implement projects or activities that relate to the EU�??s external aid programmes. Grants fall into two categories: Grants for actions: aim to achieve an objective that forms part of an external aid programme. Operating grants: finance the operating expenditure of an EU body that is pursuing an aim of general European interest or an objective that forms part of an EU policy. Grants are based on the reimbursement of the eligible costs, in other words, costs effectively incurred by the beneficiaries that are deemed necessary for carrying out the activities in question. The results of the action remain the property of the beneficiaries. Grants are subject to a written agreement signed by the two parties and, as a general rule, require co-financing by the grant beneficiary. Since grants cover a very diverse range of fields, the specific conditions that need to be fulfilled may vary from one area of activity to another. Those intending to apply for a grant should consult the calls for proposals. CONTRACTS Procurement procedures are launched when the Contracting Authority wants to purchase a service, goods or work in exchange for remuneration. A procurement procedure leads to the conclusion of a public contract. The difference between a public contract and a grant is clear: in the case of a contract, the Contracting Authority receives the product or service it needs in return for payment. in the case of a grant, it makes a contribution either to a project carried out by an external organisation or directly to that organisation because its activities contribute to EU policy aims. Procurement procedures are governed by specific rules which vary depending on the nature of the contract (service, supplies, work) and the threshold. Those intending to apply for a contract should consult the procurement notices.

Global Fund for Women www.globalfundforwomen.org/ind... (more)Global Fund for Women Types of Grants General Support awards to grantee partners are classified as Innovation, Strengthening, and Sustaining Grants. Innovation Grants Womenâ??s movements are stronger when they are diverse and dynamic. Innovation grants fund new/emerging approaches, issues, and voices. With these grants Global Fund aims to raise visibility and leverage resources for womenâ??s movements and to connect emerging groups to a wider network of womenâ??s organizations. They address womenâ??s rights agendas in rural and excluded areas/communities, sustain new approaches, and nurture young feminists involved in building the womenâ??s movement. These grants can also support creative approaches to challenging issues and pilot projects that require some calculated risk. Strengthening Grants Womenâ??s movements are stronger when womenâ??s organizations have the capacity and resources to be effective and strategic. Strengthening grants fund infrastructure, enhance granteeâ??s programmatic impact, and strengthen capacity and connections. These medium-sized grants aim to support the professionalism of womenâ??s groups. Strengthening Grants offer reliable support to groups who have a track record of cumulative change and have infused voices and issues into mainstream agendas. Sustaining Grants Womenâ??s movements are most successful when womenâ??s organizations are well networked, led and supported and have the funds to seize opportunities when they arise. Therefore Sustaining Grants are larger, fund strong national, regional, and global womenâ??s rights organizations to build collective power, take coordinated actions, grow feminist leadership, and sustain lasting systemic change for gender equality. Groups identified by Global Fund as strong candidates for Sustaining Grants will be invited to propose an initiative, then partner with Global Fund to set clearly-outlined goals and outcomes, and evaluation processes for the grant sought. This may be for an activity or program that may include convenings, capacity-building, or research. To be eligible, groups must have significant capacity for growth, a longer history with Global Fund, and exemplify movement building in their activities, programs and/or structures. Groups are also required to have a track record for impact on their communities, countries, and/or regions via policy change, advocacy and documentation.

Maypole Grant-- for Women www.maypolefund.org/guides.htmlMaypole grant for Women The Grant We give grants of up to £750. Grants from the Maypole Fund have contributed to a wide range of activities. So far, Maypole money has helped with printing leaflets, mounting exhibitions and making videos. We have financially helped women to set up and take part in conferences, workshops and other events. We have enabled groups to buy equipment to resource their projects. Here are just three very specific examples out of very many: a Maypole grant helped to finance legal costs for women arrested for opposing British arms sales to the Indonesian government to use against East Timor. Maypole funds have been given to organisations in India, Uganda and Britain to empower women in their opposition to domestic violence. Women's libraries in Nicaragua and the UK have been supported by financial assistance from the Maypole Fund. Deadlines for funding applications are: 31 January and 30 June of each year. GUIDELINES Please read these guidelines carefully before applying for a grant. Your application must be for a project which falls within our AIM/S and fulfil one or more of our CRITERIA. Much as we would wish to support all worthwhile women's projects, our funds and constitution do not permit this. As we receive more applications than we have money to fund, we are especially looking for imaginative, non-violent and politically expressive projects. We welcome applications from women for projects and activities that meet the following aims of The Maypole Fund: Peace initiatives, disarmament and action against the arms trade; Anti-militarism and action against male violence; Nuclear issues; Environmental issues; The promotion of women�??s social and political autonomy throughout the world; International, national and/or regional networking between women for the above purposes. We have chosen the following CRITERIA to help us decide between applications: We prioritise small women�??s groups and individual women over larger and more established women�??s groups or organisations. We give precedence to projects by individual women or women�??s groups over women�??s initiatives within mixed groups of women and men;; We prefer specific one-off projects and projects not yet started to projects already started or completed;; We particularly welcome applications from women who do not have access to other sources of money or whose projects find it difficult to attract funding elsewhere. PLEASE NOTE: We do not make contributions to general funding, and we do not give grants for individual women living in the global North to attend courses/conferences or to travel for personal interest. We can support women's refuges and survivor support groups only where they submit a specific project that clearly aims to counter male violence. We do not fund projects run by both women and men. We are unable to reply to any UK applications without a stamped addressed envelope. Please note: We only contact successful applicants. If you do not hear from us within 2 months of these dates, your application has been unsuccessful. If you are awarded a grant, the Maypole Fund expects that you will spend it on the agreed activity, and that within the following six months you will write us a short report showing what you have achieved with the money, and attaching receipts for all expenditure. Guidelines for applications If your project complies with the criteria and guidelines of The Maypole Fund, then you can apply for a grant. How to complete the application form Describe clearly the activity you would like the Maypole Fund to support; Include an email address so that we can easily contact you; Include your bank account details including IBAN code; Clearly state how your activity fits in with Maypole's AIMS and say how the CRITERIA apply to your project; State clearly the total amount you need. Our maximum grant is £750; Give a breakdown of the costs; Do not exceed four A4 pages. To apply for a grant, complete the application form and send it by email to maypolefund@yahoo.co.uk Please note We only contact successful applicants. If you do not hear from us within 2 months of these dates, your application has been unsuccessful.

This program is “field-initiated” in that proposal submissions are not in response to a specific request for a particular research topic, discipline, design, or method. Our goal for this program is to support rigorous, intellectually ambitious and technically sound research that is relevant to the most pressing questions and compelling opportunities in education. We seek to support scholarship that develops new foundational knowledge that may have a lasting impact on educational discourse.

An Integrated Programme for Older Persons- by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment socialjustice.nic.in/ipop.php1. INTRODUCTION There has been a steady rise in the population of older persons in India.

GoI-UNDP India Biodiversity Awards www.in.undp.org/content/india/en/home/presscenter/articles/2012/05/13/india_biodiversity_awards/India has a rich heritage of biodiversity that provides ecological, economic, social, cultural, spiritual, educational, scientific and aesthetic services to millions of people. The country is committed to protect this globally significant biodiversity, and has vast experience in natural resource conservation with diverse models of biodiversity management in operation, ranging from officially-managed protected areas to community-led conservation. However, the valuable work done by biodiversity managers at the grassroots has remained unsung, even as the value of biodiversity itself has begun to be widely recognized. For that reason, national recognition of these outstanding biodiversity management cases will not only provide an additional impetus to them, but also spread awareness for an improved ecosystem management. Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are instituting national awards for biodiversity management. The award of INR 100,000 and citations will be given to outstanding cases of biodiversity management that have been in existence for at least five years in the four categories given below- Community stewardship �?? Community-led biodiversity management by autonomous community institutions Decentralized governance �?? Biodiversity management by local self-governments and local-level statutory institutions Co-management �?? Biodiversity jointly managed by communities and the Government Protected Areas �?? Effective and innovative management practices by management agencies of Protected Areas The selection criteria have been set according to the level of participation, equity and accountability in biodiversity management, and effectiveness in conserving biodiversity and improving the livelihood of communities. For more information and nomination forms, please visit: www.nrmcindia.co.in/announce.php

National Voluntary Guidelines on Social, Environmental and Economical Responsibilities of Business, 2011 www.nfcgindia.org/pdf/National_Voluntary_Guidelines.pdfNational Voluntary Guidelines on Social, Environmental and Economical Responsibilities of Business,2011 The Guidelines presented herein are a refinement over the Corporate Social Responsibility Voluntary Guidelines 2009, released by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in December 2009. Significant inputs, received from diverse stakeholder groups across the country have been duly considered, and based on these inputs; appropriate changes have been made in the original draft Guidelines produced by the Guidelines Drafting Committee. This document therefore represents the consolidated perspective of vital stakeholders in India, and accordingly lays down the basic requirements for businesses to function responsibly, thereby ensuring a wholesome and inclusive process of economic growth. Mandate and process: These Guidelines have been developed through an extensive consultative process by a Guidelines Drafting Committee (GDC) comprising competent and experienced professionals representing different stakeholder groups. The GDC was appointed by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) with a clear brief that the Guidelines must provide a distinctively 'Indian' approach, which will enable businesses to balance and work through the many unique requirements of our land. The process that was followed in developing these Guidelines relied heavily upon developing a consensus on various ideas that emerged from various stakeholder groups. Leading trade and industry chambers, who were represented in the GDC as well as actively engaged in the consultative process, have been key partners in the development of this consensus. Applicability: The Guidelines are designed to be used by all businesses irrespective of size, sector or location and therefore touch on the fundamental aspects �?? the 'spirit' - of an enterprise. It is expected that all businesses in India, including multi-national companies that operate in the country, would consciously work towards following the Guidelines. The Guidelines also provide a framework for responsible business action for Indian MNCs planning to invest or already operating in other parts of the world. Businesses are encouraged to move beyond the recommended minimum provisions articulated in the document. For business leaders and managers entrusted with the task of deploying the principles of Responsible Business, it is worthwhile to understand that business boundaries today extend well beyond the traditional walls of a factory or an operating plant and all the way across the value chain. Businesses are therefore encouraged to ensure that not only do they follow the Guidelines for areas directly within their immediate control or within their sphere of influence, but that they encourage and support their vendors, distributors, partners and other collaborators across their value chains to follow the Guidelines as well. The Guidelines are applicable to all such entities, and are intended to be adopted by them comprehensively, as they raise the bar in a manner that makes their valuecreating operations sustainable. It needs to be emphasized that all Principles are equally important and non-divisible �?? this implies that if a business endeavours to function responsibly, it would have to adopt each of the nine (9) principles in their entirety rather than picking and choosing what might suit them.
