In June 2024, the GFF Investors
Group (IG) agreed to review and update the GFF-CSO engagement framework, as
part of the updated GFF Strategy, with the objectives of assessing the
modality to scale up and continue civil society and youth engagement.
·
Some of the main objectives of the working group
will include ensuring engagement with the other initiatives and a path that
also ensures the GFF can take in learnings, particularly the need for longer
grants; more sustainable approach, technical assistance and ensuring CSO and
youth work stays close to the projects in countries.
·
The review and update of the GFF-CSO engagement
framework will reflect the experience and lessons learned on engagement to date,
including capacity building, collaboration, communications and small grants
funding.
·
The review and update will be led by a
dedicated, timebound taskforce composed of representatives from the GFF Investors
Group and the GFF Secretariat.
·
An updated framework with proposed options for
strengthening GFF-CSO engagement and GFF support to CSOs will be presented to
the IG and TFC meetings in November 2024.
The GFF Secretariat is in search of a firm
to:
- Support the facilitation of the Civil
Society Coordinating Group (CSCG) from the period of August 2024-June
2025.
- Support the facilitation of the newly created CSO and youth
task force

Secretariat and ensure meaningful Youth Engagement in the implementation of
