Tell me about the price:

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new fellowship aimed at empowering women leaders to build community resilience against environmental crime. The initiative, titled “Building Women’s Resilience to Organized Environmental Crime,” aims to address the critical intersection of gender-based and environmental crime by championing the voices of women working to protect the environment.

The scholarship is part of GI-TOC’s flagship Resilience Fund, which provides grants and support to individuals and civil society organizations working to counter the impacts of criminal governance and violence across the world.

Which fields are eligible?

Five individual proposals addressing different environmental crime contexts will be selected and supported through the following mechanisms:

Subsidies : This scholarship aims to directly address the lack of financial support for initiatives targeting gender-inclusive projects that tackle environmental crime by providing grants of £12,000 to female leaders actively working to reduce environmental crime by empowering local women.

Capacity Building: Beneficiaries will have access to tailor-made capacity building sessions. The Resilience Fund will provide each recipient with a mentor to help them address the challenges specific to their context and projects and to help them seize opportunities to raise the visibility of their work.

Networking and collaboration: In October 2024, the Resilience Fund will invite grantees to Vienna, Austria, to participate in global policy forums and attend the 12th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. The Fund will facilitate dialogues and meetings with beneficiaries to identify ways to work together to prioritize gender issues and develop innovative strategies to protect their environment. They will also be invited to join the Resilience Fund Community Platform, which will give them access to funding opportunities, global dialogues and multilateral engagement after the grant ends.
