Request for Concepts

Stream 2 Consortium Channel

IPPF’s stream-based resource allocation model is now fully operational. Stream 2, also known as the Strategic Fund, is today launching a Request for Concepts.

A total of USD 2.54 million is available for a single MA-led consortium over a two-year period.

The main priority for the 2021 grant, as agreed by the IPPF Board, is ‘Enabling and Delivering a Gender Transformative Programme on Medical Abortion Self Care’.

For more details, please download the Request for Concepts here:

If you would like to submit a concept note as lead of a consortium, you should submit an email stating your intention by no later than 6 April 2021. The email should be sent to strategicfund@ippf.org with the subject line “Expression of Interest”.

Once you submit the expression of interest, we will share the consortium application form which needs to be completed by 30 April 2021 (see timeline below).

On 14 April, the Secretariat will host webinars to answer questions relating to the process and theme. We will post the link closer to the date.
