About this opportunity
The Department of State is seeking applicants for its "Transformational Support to Victims of Mass Atrocities" federal grant opportunity under the International Justice and Accountability Programming grant program. This funding aims to support victims of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide by providing medical, psychosocial, and livelihood assistance to help rebuild communities, promote survivor agency, and facilitate healing and reintegration. Eligible applicants must demonstrate experience assisting atrocity victims and the capacity for program implementation, including plans for meaningful community engagement, gender integration, and sustainability. Proposals are due by July 26, 2023, and awards will be determined within 3-4 months, pending availability of funds.
The anticipated funding range is $1 to $2 million to be awarded over a four-year period through either a grant or cooperative agreement. Successful projects will complement broader transitional justice efforts by providing context-specific, multidisciplinary support aimed at empowering individuals and rebuilding social cohesion within affected communities globally.
Synopsis
Supporting victims of mass atrocities is an integral component of a holistic transitional justice program, with meaningful consequences over the long term, by rebuilding communities, promoting survivor agency, and accompanying survivors along a path of healing and reintegration. Victims and affected communities suffer enduring harms that persist even after courts deliver judgments against perpetrators or societies acknowledge legacies of abuse through truth telling or memorialization processes. Individuals and communities who suffered mass atrocities have pressing, tangible needs that must be prioritized for them to resume their life projects and participate meaningfully in other transitional justice processes. These can include fistula repair for a victim of rape, a prosthetic limb for a victim of mutilation, livelihood training for a former child soldier, or psycho-social assistance for a torture victim. If connected to larger transitional justice aims, these interventions-which in some environments may be modest in scope and cost-can have transformational impact, contributing to the generational projects of reconciliation, social repair, and peacebuilding within communities. This funding opportunity recognizes the rehabilitation of victims as a form of transitional justice, complementing other mechanisms, such as prosecutions, truth telling, memorialization, lustrations, and institutional reform.
