UNODC DAPC Grant 2022 for not-for-profits Working on Substance use Prevention (USD 17,000 grant)

The UNODC DAPC grants programme is launching a Call for Proposals with the aim of funding not-for-profit organizations working in the area of substance use prevention whose projects are aimed at implementing evidence-based substance use prevention programs for and with youth. Applicants from low- and middle-income countries are eligible for grant awards of USD 10,000 to USD 17,000.

Activities

The DAPC grant funding under this Call for Proposals will be awarded projects that:

  • Are focused on evidence-based prevention of substance use. This is assessed on the basis of how well the project activities are in line with the types of interventions and policies found to be effective in preventing substance use based on the available scientific evidence, as outlined in the International Standards on Drug Use Prevention;
  • Are targeting young persons under the age of 15 and implemented in a developmentally appropriate way;
  • Support the active participation of youth in their communities.  Proposals should demonstrate youth as active agents of ineffective substance use prevention, including meaningful involvement in the development, dissemination, and implementation process of evidence-based substance use programs; and connect youth to the activities of the UNODC Youth Initiative.
