ABOUT
DCPSF
Recognizing the need for visible peace
dividends for Darfurians during the
political negotiation process, the
Darfur International Partners (DIP)
group created the DCPSF which was
announced in Sirte in October 2007.
The Fund seeks to promote community
level trust, confidence and peace
building throughout Darfur. It is
envisaged that by facilitating confidence
and trust at the grass roots level,
the DCPSF will address the root causes
of violence, providing a platform
for dialogue and promoting reconciliation
across ethnic, tribal and political
divides.

SMALL GRANTS PROGRAMME
In keeping with the principles
and criteria that underpin the Fund,
the DCPSF Steering Committee (SC)
tasked the Technical Secretariat (TS)
with formulating a small grants mechanism.
Administered by an agency or consortium
of agencies serving as a Small Grants
Programme Manager, the window looks
to allocate grants of a maximum of
USD 50,000 to grantees. The grant,
which was finally allocated to a consortium
of NGOs (Catholic Relief Services
as lead agency, World Vision and Sudanese
NGO CAFA) has a threefold purpose:
i) to augment the
administrative and management capacity
of national actors;
ii) to enhance operational
capability in the delivery of DCPSF
programmes and
iii) through strengthening
indigenous networks and platforms,
promote a uniform methodological approach
to conflict analysis and mainstreaming
conflict sensitive approaches.
