Call For Proposal-Tools for Change


Call for Proposals - Tools for Change: Utilizing human rights to combat violations of women's rights over land in the context of HIV/AIDS

The Huairou Commission, UNDP and the Open Society Foundation Law and Health Initiative (LAHI) invite grassroots organizations to submit applications for implementing an innovative method or activity using human rights as a tool to claim, gain and maintain land and housing, especially in the context of HIV/AIDS.
Up to three organizations will be selected to receive both financial resources and technical advice to carry out pilot activities in which grassroots women utilize human rights law as laid out in the Tools for Change manual (click here to download manual, which is also available in the Land & Housing Library on huairou.org).

Over the course of six months, selected grassroots groups will have an opportunity to enhance their advocacy, raise awareness to challenge discriminatory customs and/or lobby for policy change - all utilizing human rights as the primary basis. They will also engage in mutual sharing of lessons learned on the best uses of human rights in the struggle for land rights.

Two members from each group will also attend a meeting of the AU or other regional body (TBD, in 2012) to advocate for women's rights to land in the context of HIV/AIDS utilizing a human rights framework grounded in grassroots realities.

Each organization will receive up to $12,000 to carry out the pilot activities.    

We invite interested organizations to:
 Contact TFC.Applications@huairou.org with any comments or questions.

Reputedly ‘Zimbabwe’s richest’ man. Zanu-PF heir-in-waiting Emmerson Mnangagwa was a few years ago described as ‘Zimbabwe’s richest man’ by Wikileaks cables written by a US ambassador in 2001. The cables, however, shied away from estimating his wealth in numbers. “Regarded as the wealthiest individual in Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa has close business links with Colonel Lionel Dyck, a white officer from the old Rhodesian army who founded Mine Tech, a landmine clearance company that secured lucrative contracts from the Zimbabwean government to clear landmines in Zimbabwe border areas after the war,” Wikipedia said in a post updated after Mnangagwa was appointed vice-president in December 2014. Various sources, including Zimbabwean and UK media outlets, allege Mnangagwa made much of his money while he was secretary for finance in Zanu-PF. This, according to the the United Nations Security Council reports in 2002 and 2003, was supplemented by his involvement as one of the illegal mi

Kenya: Kwale Titanium Mine was to be launched in 2013

Australian diversified junior miner, Base Resources Ltd.'s titanium unit in Kenya aims to start mining in 2013, ending years of uncertainty over the project, a company official said on Monday. Joe Schwarz, the general manager of Base Titanium, said in a telephone interview he expected the ongoing feasibility study at the project to be concluded by early 2011, and an estimated $200 million to be raised next year to kickstart the mine. The project on Kenya's sweltering Indian Ocean coast has been held up for years by delays including demonstrations by environmental groups, disputes with local farmers over compensation for land and drawn out talks with the government. Schwarz said so far Base Titanium had yet to sign agreements with buyers of its minerals, but said the exports would likely be destined to China, U.S. and Europe.  "Once we have the green light on the final investment decision, building the plant will take 18-21 months and we would be able to start pro
