CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS
1. BACKGROUND TO THE CALL FOR IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS
Health Development Initiative (HDI) is an independent, Rwandan civil society organisation working to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) through advocacy, movement-building, research, and rights-based service provision. For nearly two decades, HDI has worked alongside communities, activists, healthcare providers, and policymakers to expand access to SRHR information and services, challenge harmful laws and social norms, and strengthen the collective power of civil society to influence change.
HDI’s work is grounded in the belief that sustainable progress on SRHR is driven by communities themselves. Grassroots organisations, feminist movements, youth-led groups, LGBTQIA+ collectives, sex worker organisations, and other community-based actors play a critical role in shaping public discourse, resisting restrictive policies, and holding institutions accountable. These groups are often closest to the realities of injustice and exclusion, yet face the greatest barriers in accessing flexible funding, political space, and long-term institutional support.
With support from AmplifyChange, HDI is implementing the Catalyst Fund for Community-Led SRHR Advocacy, a regional partnership initiative working across Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi. The partnership aims to strengthen the power, resilience, and sustainability of grassroots civil society organisations working to advance SRHR, particularly in contexts where rights are contested, political space is shrinking, and anti-rights movements are increasingly organised and well-resourced.
Through this partnership, HDI will provide financial support, technical accompaniment, and learning opportunities to community-led organisations engaged in SRHR advocacy. The Catalyst Fund is designed not only to resource individual projects, but to contribute to broader movement-building by supporting collective strategies, knowledge-sharing, and solidarity across countries and movements. It seeks to support organisations and collectives that are rooted in lived experience, led by affected communities, and engaged in advocacy efforts to advance SRHR, challenge discrimination and stigma, influence laws and policies, and shift harmful social norms.
1.2 AREAS OF THE SELECTED IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS AND PROJECTS
This Call for Implementing Partners is open to civil society organisations and community-based organizations engaged in advocacy to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi.
Rather than prescribing narrow technical sectors, the Catalyst Fund prioritises advocacy initiatives that contribute to strengthening SRHR movements, challenging structural barriers, and shifting policies, norms, and power relations that restrict bodily autonomy and human rights.
