Call for Expressions of Interest – Tajikistan
GCERF invites Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Tajikistan to apply for funding to implement programmes that promote rehabilitation and reintegration (R&R) of women and children returnees from Northeast Syria and Iraq, building on the previous work by other like-minded organisations and the Government of Tajikistan.
The funding will be directed towards strengthening two objectives: local capacity building and direct R&R support.
GCERF’s grant funding mechanism primarily supports local CSOs in a consortium model, wherein R&R initiatives will be implemented. The grant amount is up to 500,000 USD for each of the two objectives over a period of 24 months.
Expressions of Interest must be submitted by email to call.centralasia@gcerf.org no later than 10 January 2026 with “EOI-TAJ-R&R-[Organisation name]” in the subject line.
An online information session will be held on 15 December 2025 at 3:00 PM Dushanbe time. Interested organisations can join the session using this link: https://meet.google.com/bxu-gpwd-uxd.
