💡 Tips for applicants
- Demonstrate proven experience working in Sudan or similar post-conflict contexts. Credibility on the ground is critical for competitiveness.
- Center local voices and leadership in your project design. DRL prioritizes community-led approaches to peacebuilding.
- Develop strong partnerships with Sudanese organizations. Foreign organizations working alone face lower review scores.
- Include detailed security risk assessments and mitigation strategies. Operating in Sudan requires clear safety planning for staff and partners.
- Align your project with international humanitarian law and UN principles on atrocity prevention. Strong normative framework strengthens proposals.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Underestimating security challenges and partner capacity. Lack of local relationships or Sudanese organization buy-in. Unclear theory of change linking activities to atrocity prevention outcomes.
