Summary
Notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) issued by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), for the Dignity in Documentation Initiative (DIDI). The funding opportunity number is DFOP0013969, with a total funding ceiling of $1,500,000 and an application deadline of 11:59 pm EST on Wednesday, June 28, 2024.

The NOFO seeks to support a project focusing on global, integrated, and survivor-centered documentation programming for conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) victims and survivors. The initiative aims to address gaps in comprehensive, survivor-centered CRSV documentation efforts and provide critical support services to survivors.

The DIDI must take a survivor-centered and trauma-informed approach, prioritizing the individual needs and efforts of CRSV survivors while supporting survivor networks, civil society, and community-based organizations. The document emphasizes the need for integrated and holistic CRSV documentation processes tied to transitional justice interventions that respond to the wide-ranging needs of survivors. It also highlights the importance of addressing challenges such as avoiding unnecessary or duplicative interviews, providing mental health and psychosocial services, and supporting particularly vulnerable groups.

Additionally, the NOFO outlines expected objectives and outcomes related to investigating and documenting CRSV crimes, designing sustained multi-sectoral support services alongside CRSV documentation initiatives, addressing survivors' stigma, shame, and fear, and advocating for self-determined justice and atrocity prevention.

Competitive proposals are expected to demonstrate expertise in building upon integrated and holistic efforts in the CRSV documentation space and transitional justice field. They should also articulate an annual global sub-granting process critical to the success of the DIDI and how the initiative will access and leverage long-term private, foundation, and multi-lateral partnerships to grow and sustain this initiative.
