Discussion: CSSF Solicits Proposal Submissions
The UK's Conflict, Stability, and Security Fund (CSSF) has announced a new call for proposals, inviting eligible organizations to submit project proposals. This call for proposals is open to Israeli, Palestinian, and international organizations, with citizens of Israel and Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem eligible to participate in the proposed projects.
Organizations can submit proposals as the lead organization of a consortium or propose a project involving downstream partnerships with other organizations. The project budget can exceed the yearly cap of 150,000 pounds sterling, as long as the amount requested from the Fund does not exceed this ceiling.
There are no strict or specific requirements for the percentage of co-funding in project proposals. Co-funding, in any form, is acceptable under this call for proposals. Eligible co-funding sources may include the EU Peacebuilding Initiative and IFA Zivik, funded by the German foreign ministry.
For projects funded under a CSSF call for proposals, reporting requirements are essential. The budgeting for reporting should take into account the quarterly submission of narrative and financial reports. Templates for the required reports will be provided by the CSSF team.
The specific reporting requirements for each CSSF call for proposals may vary. Generally, these requirements include detailed narrative and financial reporting, progress toward objectives, use of funds, impact assessments, and compliance with ESG or other regulatory standards. The frequency of these reports may be annual, with interim updates or notifications upon significant developments.
For exact frequency and extent related to a specific CSSF call for proposals, it is best to consult the individual call documentation or the CSSF official guidelines associated with that funding opportunity. The search results do not include a direct reference to a CSSF call for proposals reporting template or schedule.
Entities subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are encouraged by CSSF to make comprehensive disclosures on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, with an emphasis on transparency, impact-risk-opportunity linkages, and stakeholder consultation. These reports are typically annual and seek to progressively improve materiality assessments and clarity.
In summary, the CSSF call for proposals offers a valuable opportunity for eligible organizations to submit project proposals, with flexible co-funding options and clear reporting requirements. For more targeted guidance, providing the exact program name or funding area will enable more specific advice.
