Rwanda bridges to justice (RBJ) is a local non-governmental organization dedicated to protecting of human rights by ensuring that citizens in Rwanda have access to competent legal representation and the right to fair trial and an affiliate of International Bridges to Justice (IBJ).
RBJ is currently implementing a project funded by the European Union entitled "Advancing Human Rights in Rwanda (AHRR)" in partnership with Initiatives for Peace and Human Rights (iPeace), Prison Fellowship Rwanda (PFR), and others. Our plan is to work with grassroots organisations in order to extend the intervention for our current project through this call for expression of interest.
In Kigali, Eastern Province, Western Province, and Southern Province, the project implements several projects in partnership with other Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and in collaboration with public institutions. Through this model, these organizations become partners with RBJ, with the latter responsible for enabling the implementation or realization of the accepted Universal Periodic Review (UPR) recommendation by the Rwandan government through its activities aimed at addressing challenges faced by community members who are vulnerable while the former provides financial support to enable the actual implementation of the activities.

In order to increase our outreach through this project, we are exploring partnering with human rights defenders and advocacy organizations with ties to local communities. Accordingly, RBJ is seeking expressions of interest from organizations (HRDs/advocacy champions) in order to increase the success of activities related to UPR-aligned reforms. Accordingly, the selected organisation should be capable of influencing the advancement of UPR-aligned reforms.
Out of the six selected organizations, each local implementing partner will receive between 5,000,000 RWF and 3,000, 000 RWF. Financial support for implementation of activities will be provided to the successful organization upon satisfactory evaluation and presentation of a work plan. As part of the program, the selected local implementing organisation will provide a wealth of knowledge, experience, and understanding of the Rwandan context as well as their proximity to the impact groups, target populations, and opinion leaders.
NB* Each organization's application will be reviewed differently (which means minimum eligibility requirements may vary), so you can submit an application even if you have different details than what is requested for consideration.

Submission Procedure
