Guidelines for Emergency Intervention

Applicants seeking an emergency intervention by the Foundation in support of their situations/activities must submit a written request in Arabic, English or French that meets the below-mentioned guidelines.

Preliminary considerations:

  • Requests for emergency funding are considered when applicants can show that an intervention by the EMHRF will help counter threats against their lives and/or those of members of their family and reinforce the visibility and pursuit of their activities at a strategic timing.
  • The amount of funding requested may not exceed € 5,000.
  • The request is such that it cannot be fully supported on an emergency basis by another national, regional or international organisation.
  • The Foundation reserves the right to ask for any other explanation/documentation to the candidates if needed and to decide on whether it will provide full or partial support.
The guidelines governing emergency interventions are as follows:
 
 
1. Urgent funding request
  • Provide a brief description of the activities for which emergency assistance is requested and of the expected outcomes.
  • Describe the threats against the defender(s) or against the pursuit of his/her/their activities, and the urgent nature of the situation.
  • Provide a budget for the activity in question, accompanied by explanatory notes.
  • Indicate whether the request is being considered by other potential donors. If so, provide the name of the donor and the amount requested, and advise the Foundation of the outcome of that request, be it positive or negative.
2. Legal and financial profile of the applicant
  • Give a brief description of past and ongoing activities, and of the funding received to implement these activities.
  • Provide the names of human rights organisations acting as partners in your activities.
  • Provide the names and coordinates of two references or partners who should be contacted to support or endorse your request.
 

⇒ The candidates can express themselves freely in their application and are free to provide further details.

All requests, including those which are denied, receive a written reply. Even when an application is denied, the EMHRF Secretariat may follow-up if it can be determined that another organisation is in a position to support the applicant’s request.
