British High Commission Belmopan seeks 2020/2021 project proposals bids

The British High Commission Belmopan is seeking bids for 2020/2021 project proposals which focus on the following themes:

• Environment/ Conservation – relating to climate change, eliminating single use plastics, maritime, tackling illegal wildlife
• Human Rights – girls’ education, LGBT rights, preventing sexual violence, reducing Modern Slavery, Freedom of Religion or Belief
• Security and Justice – strengthening the capacity of the Criminal Justice System and Law Enforcement, improved access to justice and protection of rights of all citizens
• Economic and Sustainable Growth – relating to better business environments in key sectors

NB. The projects must directly benefit Belize and support programmes linked to the UK’s thematic priorities highlighted above.

The British High Commission (Belize) is particularly interested in project bids that will add value and impact via innovative activities to improve relationships and cooperation between all stakeholders (civil society organisations, the general public, relevant institutions and the Government of Belize).

Projects should demonstrate how they will make a difference e.g. by covering an existing gap in the system or promoting practical change.

Results should be clear, measurable and sustainable. Priority will be given to projects that draw on UK experience and expertise and strengthen UK-Belize co-operation.
