The SUN Movement Pooled Fund was formulated in 2017 as a last resort, catalytic source of grant funding to support SUN Civil Society Alliance activities at the national and subnational level. The grants will be administered by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). The recommendations of the SUN Civil Society Network members, the SUN Movement Strategy and Roadmap (2016-2020), and the lessons learned from the SUN Movement Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF) have informed the design of the grant programme.

Window I – Cycle I Call for Proposals

Selection Process Overview

The Grant Evaluation Committee considered each proposal in a two-step selection process. The first stage of the selection process reviewed the eligibility of the applicant and the compliance of their application.  The second stage of the selection was a programmatic evaluation on the merits of the proposal, project activities, and project budget.

Solicitation Summary

In accordance with the Pooled Fund Project Agreement, a competitive Call for Proposals was publicly posted in English, French, and Spanish on the UN Global Marketplace from 1 May to 11 June 2018. UNOPS received a total of 67 applications.  Of those 67 applications, 28 passed the initial eligibility criteria and were evaluated by the Pooled Fund Grant Evaluation Committee.

The Call for Proposals was advertised by the SUN Movement through the SUN Movement Secretariat’s communication channels, e.g. website, social media, and direct email campaign.  The Call for Proposals was also advertised by the SUN Movement Civil Society Network Steering Committee, who used their separate social media, newsletters, and direct email campaign to solicit as many eligible applications as possible.

The SUN Movement Secretariat, UNOPS, the Civil Society Network, and the SUN Donor Network all supported the grant solicitation process.

Award Summary

Thanks to the generous support of our donors and the quality of the proposals, SUN Movement was able to award 21 grants to SUN Civil Society Alliances in 19 different countries in Cycle I.
