Grant Description: 1). DRL seeks projects in Chad that focus on raising awareness to prevent the recruitment of child soldiers in government and/or rebel groups. Projects related to child soldiers should focus on preventing recruitment of children from refugee and/or IDP camps in the east; however, proposals may also include efforts in other parts of the country as appropriate. Awareness raising strategies should be clearly described and aimed specifically at key actors who may be able to prevent or stop the recruitment and use of child soldiers. Such actors may include, but are not limited to, field-level members of the military, local refugee leaders, parents/parent-teacher associations, gendarmes and law enforcement officials, local and provincial civilian authorities, and civil society/religious groups. As such, projects should demonstrate a strong understanding of the ways in which children are recruited. To promote collaboration and avoid duplication of efforts, projects should also demonstrate the ability to coordinate closely with UNICEF, UNHCR, and other actors engaged in similar efforts. Awareness raising activities must demonstrate that they do not duplicate UNICEF efforts. Applicants interested in applying for a grant in this area must currently be operating in Chad. 2). DRL seeks projects in Chad that focus on reducing school violence. Projects must pay particular attention to the inclusion of girls, demonstrate knowledge of other related ongoing projects, and explain how the proposal does not duplicate existing efforts. Projects should involve training for and the involvement of actors such as teachers, school administrators and local authorities, students (male and female), and parents/parent-teacher associations. They should seek to strengthen existing mechanisms that work with or within schools or to build associations that will continue to promote safer schools over the long-term.
