ICPD Small Grants 2014: Call for proposals: Taking the ICPD beyond 2014, to position SRHR and the priorities of the ICPD in the next development framework

The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has announced its call for proposals to influence the outcomes of the ICPD and Post 2015 development framework processes.

2014 marks the twentieth anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). 2015 is the year the successor to the Millennium Development Goals will be negotiated and adopted. The outcome of these processes will greatly impact future Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) policy, funding and programming priorities at global level and at national level.

Civil society (CS) has a critical role to play in influencing government priorities and positions for the post- 2015 regional and global negotiations. To ensure that CS engagement in these processes is strong, meaningful and has impact IPPF is launching round two of a small grants facility. The facility will support CS engagement in post 2014/15 policy processes. This fund will support CSOs who are working with their governments, at country level, to develop strong positions in support of SRHR. This will enable governments to champion SRHR and population dynamics in forthcoming global policy opportunities related to the Operational review of the ICPD and all the processes that feed into the development of the post- 2015 development framework.  

In 2015 the next development framework will greatly impact future Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) policy, funding and programming priorities at global level and at national level.  Civil society has a critical role to play in influencing government priorities and positions for the post- 2015 regional and global negotiations.  

The 2 new funds from the IPPF Small Grants 2014 are:

• Fund 1: Taking the ICPD beyond 2014, to position SRHR and the priorities of the ICPD in the next development framework
• Fund 2: Civil Society & Beyond 2014: Securing and accelerating progress on the ICPD Programme of Action 

These funds will support civil society organizations who are working with their governments, at country level, to develop strong positions in support of SRHR. This will enable governments to champion SRHR and population dynamics in forthcoming global policy opportunities related to the Operational review of the ICPD and all the processes that feed into the development of the post-2015 development framework.
