COBERM - A joint EU-UNDP initiative
COBERM IV - Call for project ideas
(First round)
Confidence Building Early Response Mechanism (COBERM), a joint EU-UNDP initiative is soliciting innovative project ideas from representatives of civil society, including registered local and international non-governmental organizations, foundations and academia that are in line with the following aims:
1) Support innovative, grassroots initiatives with tangible impact on confidence building;
2) Contribute to further enhancement of an enabling environment conducive to peace, stability and human security;
3) Foster academic research and analysis in the sphere of confidence building and peace.
Background:
COBERM is an apolitical, impartial and flexible joint EU-UNDP programme funded by the EU and implemented by UNDP.
Since its launch in 2010, COBERM continues to provide a neutral ground for addressing the prevailing needs of the local communities, including post-conflict isolation and low capacities, as well as for the development of new approaches to peace and confidence building.
Implemented in three phases during 2010-2018, COBERM entered its fourth phase in May 2019.
Through its grant programme, COBERM supports initiatives of local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in a wide range of areas aiming to pursue sustainable peace.
Purpose of the call:
The purpose of the call is to identify project ideas that propose increased and sustainable cooperation, with a demonstrable positive impact on the building of trust between societies affected by conflict, as well as on the attitudes and perceptions leading to confidence building and reconciliation.
