Regional Strategic Collaboration

They invite proposals to support activities, events, and processes that attempt to push values of freshwater ecosystems into water-related sector plans through effective community decision-making process. The proposal expected to show success stories, identify key challenges and barriers, and engage local communities, indigenous peoples, and women groups in protecting and restoring freshwater ecosystems for sustainable use, water-related disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation as well as provide practical approaches and policy recommendations to scale up.
The types of regional strategic collaboration could include, but are not limited to:
Strengthening coordination and collaboration between countries, across waterrelated sectors, across the scales and beyond watershed boundaries to accelerate the progress to achieve global and regional goals such as Sustainable Development Goals and Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
Sharing and build lessons on good practices and implementable actions in protecting and restoring freshwater ecosystems for sustainable use, waterrelated disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation at the local level in the rural areas by taking into account the knowledge, practices and experience indigenous peoples and women have toward ecosystem-based approaches and showcasing a rights-based and gender sensitive approach to nature-based solutions.
Filling the gaps in mainstreaming biodiversity and freshwater ecosystem services into local development polices, upscaling into national and regional policies and the growing gaps in funding to finance conservation efforts by partnerships with the private sector, individuals and non-governmental organizations.
Demonstrating importance of ecosystem services and biodiversity for the full enjoyment of human rights, contributing to gender equality and social equity in managing and restoring freshwater ecosystems.
Theme-specific criteria

The successful event proposal will meet the following criteria:

Programme design: The event should clearly set the programme to highlight good practices and implementable actions in protecting and restoring freshwater ecosystems for sustainable use, water-related disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation at the local level in the rural areas by taking into account indigenous and local practices and knowledge, gender equality, social equity, and human rights.
Multi-stakeholder engagement: The event format should allow meaningful participation by designing, facilitating, and involving diverse range of stakeholders, particularly local communities and policy makers as well as ensuring inclusive and innovative approaches in participation and engagement that facilitate the inclusion of vulnerable groups into decision-making.
Clear directions for policy influence: The event should set clear target policies and larger regional or global platforms to be influenced and provide clear steps after the event to influence policy and/or decision-making processes.
Communication and public awareness: The event should have a clear communication plan to raise public awareness to the target groups on the importance of freshwater ecosystem services and ecosystem-based adaptation based on principles of gender equality, social equity and human rights.

Early Grant Information for NGOs

Interested applicants must send proposal for events on any of the four themes. Proposals should also include a human rights and gender angle, to be considered.
The following can apply for the grant:
Nonprofit organizations or networks that based in Asia can apply. Organizations outside the region can be considered if the proposed event addresses issues relevant to Asia and can engage regional stakeholders. They should:
Have experience in hosting relevant policy dialogues that engage different groups and stakeholders.
Feature key speakers and participants who are able to share knowledge and experience in environmental sustainability, while addressing cross-cutting issues of gender equality, human rights and poverty.
Private sector players can apply, if their proposal seeks to engage with the public sector and/or civil society organizations. Funding cannot be used for covering private sector actors’ participation in the supported event (related travel and accommodation expenses). It should, however, be used to increase participation of other stakeholders such as civil society and the public sector. A cost-sharing option for micro and small enterprises with resource constraints can be considered.
Organizations that are currently Sida’s grantees are not eligible to apply as the lead organization, but can be part of the consortium.
