A funding mechanism providing grants for CSOs working to reach zero-dose children and missed communities. Find out how to apply, what types of grants are available, eligibility criteria and countries with calls for proposals.
All country-specific call for proposals will be available on this website. Information in each call for proposals will include: when applications open and close, as well as details that will enable applicants to sign up to an informational webinar on the specific call for proposals (which will be held early into the application process).
Once the funding application window has opened, organisations will typically have up to three weeks to upload their responses into Grantelope, the grant management system, and to submit their online application/s.
Country-specific grant types will be described in each call for proposal. Typically grants will be provided to deliver demand generation / service delivery / supply chain management or advocacy projects, and will vary in value and duration.
Smaller grants for national or sub-national CSOs that are new to the field of immunisations and/or Gavi funding, that require support to establish themselves in the field of immunisations. These grants will support Gavi’s aim of working with a more diverse range of CSOs.
Larger grants primarily for national-level CSOs and global CSOs who are working in fragile or humanitarian settings.
These are general descriptions and grant parameters may change depending on the country of the call for proposals. Final grant parameters will be available in each country-specific call for proposals.
There are three priority areas for this civil society funding:
For potential applicants of a specific country call for proposals, either an applicant webinar will be held and/or a recorded presentation made available for applicants to download from this page. Project, Programme and Financial Managers should consider attending the webinars or reviewing the recorded presentation as both project design and finances will be covered.
Both programmatic and financial documents will need to be uploaded to Grantelope, the online grant management system, as part of all applications. These include:
We recommend all applicants download Gavi CSO funding guidance documents listed above, before starting to complete an application. Templates that have been specifically provided should be completed and uploaded as part of your application. Any documents submitted as part of an application that have not been completed in the templates provided will be deemed ineligible.
Once the call for proposals has closed and applications have been submitted, all eligible applications will go through a thorough evaluation process. The process will be guided by the Evaluation Criteria outlined in the call for proposals guidance and agreed with Gavi and key stakeholders on a country basis.
The Criteria is likely to focus on the following key themes:
In addition, the budget and organisational audited accounts will be reviewed to ensure financial eligibility.
Final application outcome letters will be sent out to all applicants with news of whether they have been successful or not. Letters will include generic feedback from the application review process. Timings of the application review process will be shared in the call for proposals.
If an applicant has concerns or questions relating to their proposal, they should submit a query to the support enquiry mailbox: gavi-cso@manniondaniels.com
Alternatively, raise a query directly on Grantelope, the online grants management system, where all applications will be completed and submitted.
