Who Can Apply?

Eligible organizations must be led by forcibly displaced or stateless persons (at least 50% of leadership), legally registered in the country of operation, have experience in policy, advocacy, strategy development, or advisory processes, and have  a  designated  representative  who  can  communicate  effectively  in  English.

Key information

We strongly encourage stateless-led organizations within the Global Alliance network and beyond to consider applying and bringing their expertise and lived experience to this important global platform.
