Description
This funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) seeks proposals to implement a rapid response mechanism for Track 2.0 peacebuilding and dialogue support in conflict-affected regions critical to U.S. interests. The program aims to provide timely, flexible support for convening civil society actors, activists, journalists, and other stakeholders to advance and sustain peace processes, particularly in regions such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Thailand, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and other strategically important areas. The initiative emphasizes dialogue, relationship-building, and capacity enhancement for non-governmental actors to contribute meaningfully to peacebuilding efforts.
