Submission Deadline: 10.03.2021 midnight (Sana'a Time)
An information session will be organized on Thursday, March 03, 2021, to provide further information about the funding opportunity and the application process. Please stay tuned for more information in the coming days.
The Cash for Work Project aims to provide youth in Yemen with alternatives to conflict through job and training opportunities to improve their livelihoods and rehabilitate cultural heritage. Youth involvement is seen as essential for stabilizing communities by engaging them in meaningful employment for heritage and infrastructure restoration in urban centers through cash-for-work schemes.
Following the success of the 2020 cycle of funding opportunities under the cultural programming component of the Project, small-scale grants will be awarded to CSOs in Yemen to promote social cohesion for young Yemenis and contribute to sustainable cultural development. UNESCO’s partnerships with local CSOs will also be established with a view to building local organizational and management capacities and enhancing the outreach of civil society in public dialogue for peacebuilding.
The actions to be covered under this Contract will apply the cash-for-work methodology to cultural programming to provide vital support to Yemeni young cultural operators who have experienced major loss as a result of the conflict. The assistance will help create a sustainable foundation for future employment and development in Yemen’s culture sector by presenting cultural production as a viable means of livelihood.
