DESCRIPTION
The Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) has announced a call for grant applications for its 2016 grants program.
OSISA supports innovative programs working towards open society ideals and which advocate for these ideals in southern Africa. The programs it supports will look beyond immediate symptoms and seek to address structural problems that reproduce poverty, inequality, exclusion and discrimination.
For the 2016 strategy year, OSISA invites proposals from civil society, community or state actors from our region for the following programme priority areas:

  • Human Rights, Access to Justice and the Rule of Law
  • Democracy and Governance
  • Social and Economic Justice
  • Natural Resources Governance
  • Youth Arts and Culture
  • Women’s Rights

To apply, organisations and entities operating and registered in southern Africa need to complete and submit the OSISA 2016 Grant Application Form (with annexures) using only one of the following channels:

  1. Online OSISA 2016 Grant Application Form completed and submitted directly from this website.
  2. Downloadable OSISA 2016 Grant Application Form completed and submitted by email to grantproposals@osisa.org
  3. Downloadable OSISA 2016 Grant Application Form printed, completed and mailed for the attention of the Grant Making Unit to Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa, PO Box 678, Wits 2050.
  4. Downloadable OSISA 2016 Grant Application Form completed and faxed to +27 (0)11 5875099 for the attention of the Grant Proposals Unit of the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa.

OSISA recognizes that there are some emerging and other leading civil society groups and formations such as community-based organizations and social movements operating in our region, which are not formally registered entities. It is willing to consider concept proposals from such unregistered and informal groups and formations that, if approved, may then be further developed into fully-fledged grant proposals for consideration.
