Agency
Name: Stop TB Partnerships
Last
Date: November 8, 2013
Stop TB Partnerships TB REACH grant program has announced the funding
for Wave 4. It has issued a Call for Proposals under this program.
For Wave 4 there are two changes that have been made to the application process. The first change is that TB REACH is now instituting a two-step application process. The first step is a letter of intent which is a shorter version of the application outlining the main approaches and settings for the proposed intervention. This LOI is due on November 8th, 2013.
All LOIs that meet the basic criteria for completeness and eligibility will be reviewed by the TB REACH Proposal Review Committee in December and a few of them will be asked to submit complete applications at that time. These will be reviewed again in February with final decisions being made in March 2013 for funding.
The second change being instituted is that now all LOIs must be written and submitted online though our application page. There is no MS Word document to be submitted and all interested parties must complete the process online. All LOIs will be submitted via the Stop TB Partnership’s applications tracking system
TB REACH has a separate funding track for CSOs and small NGOs in Wave 4. For the CBO/CSO/Small NGO Track” budget of LOIs should be from USD $80,000 up to USD $200,000. The CSO track is a special track of funding for small and local organizations and is NOT for NGOs that have an international presence, or organizations whose core operations are mainly biomedical in nature. Annual budget turnover of applicants in this track of funding must not exceed USD $500,000. Applicants to this track should propose local innovative approaches to address local TB case detection barriers in undeserved, at risk and vulnerable populations.

Panchayati Raj Training by Vishwa Yuva Kendra
Vishwa Yuvak Kendra (International
Youth Centre) is a pioneering organisation in the field of youth
development. It was established with the active support of Pandit

Democracy is considered as one of the
best forms of government because it ensures liberty of thought,
expression, belief, faith and worship, equality of status and opportunity,
fraternity as well as the right to participate in political
decision-making. Participation and control of governance by the people of
the country is the essence of democracy. Such participation is possible
only when the powers of the state are decentralized to the district, block
and village levels where all the sections of the people can sit together,
discuss their problems and suggest solutions and plan execute as well as
monitor the implementation of the programmes. It is called the crux of
democratic decentralization.
