Description

This opportunity, offered by the U.S. Department of State’s Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF), seeks proposals for projects that enhance the documentation and reporting of religious freedom abuses in Nigeria. The goal is to strengthen accountability, advocacy, and memorialization efforts, with an emphasis on supporting civil society and legal actors to pursue justice for violations committed by both state and non-state actors. Activities should build the capacity of local organizations and communities, particularly in Nigeria’s Middle Belt and at least three additional states, to safely and effectively participate in documentation and accountability efforts. Projects should have a sustainable impact beyond the grant period and align with U.S. foreign policy goals on religious freedom.
