| Description: | PAS Islamabad invites all eligible organizations (see Section C for Eligibility Requirements) to submit proposals for grants to effectively counter violent extremism with evidence-based research as specified in this NOFO. This year’s CEO NOFO seeks to address a major challenge to creating and sustaining effective CVE programs in Pakistan: the gap between CVE research and analysis (R&A) and program design that includes a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) element. This NOFO seeks to minimize the gap by sponsoring reliable, high-quality community-focused R&A that directly informs CVE program design, especially in the underserved regions of Pakistan most susceptible to violent-extremist (VE) messaging and recruitment.To address the above identified gap, CVE practitioners will lead the R&A in order for it to translate into measurable programmatic goals and objectives, whilst also providing thematic oversight. CEO’s NOFO is divided into two distinct but closely linked grant projects. This link between the two will be vital for project success. The first project calls for creating the Pakistan CVE Research Network, a larger and stronger cadre of Pakistani experts in CVE R&A and M&E as the launching platform for the second project. The second project, Building Effective Pakistani CVE Projects, calls for an organization to serve as implementation lead for identification, subsequent funding and management of sub-grants i.e. field-test and multiply the products of the first program (R&A component). |
