Funding Opportunity for Civil Society and Community-Based NGOs: UNESCO Participation Programme (2026–2027)

UNESCO’s Participation Programme (2026–2027) is a funding mechanism that enables UNESCO Member States, National Commissions for UNESCO, and regional bodies to support priority projects implemented in partnership with credible, experienced organisations. This is a terrific opportunity for civil society and community-based organisations working at the intersection of women’s and girls’ empowerment, gender equality, youth development, and sport.
