Announcing a call for proposals
Chin Programme 2019 – 2023: Transforming Chin State through agriculture development, improved nutrition and health, and the creation of decent work
LIFT has invested USD 28.5 million since 2014 that has spanned the three thematic areas of Agriculture, Markets and Food Systems, Nutrition, and Decent Work and Labour Mobility, contributing to supporting the state in its transform efforts. In line with the refreshed strategy and building on past investments, the call seeks proposals in the aforementioned thematic areas that will create market opportunities for agricultural products, contribute to the improved nutrition and health of Chin rural communities, and to the creation of greater job opportunities.
A three-year multi-disciplinary programme is being launched to achieve these objectives in Chin State. LIFT is seeking proposals from qualified organisations to implement projects that transform Chin State through agriculture development, improved nutrition and health, and contribute to the creation of decent work. The proposed activities should start no later than November 2019 and end before October 2022.
To support the long-term sustainability of the programme results, LIFT strongly encourages proposals from and/or implemented in partnership with civil society, the private sector and Government line agencies in Chin State.
