EU-UNOPS Lives in Dignity Grant Facility

The European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) founded the EU-UNOPS Lives in Dignity (LiD) Grant Facility in 2020. Its purpose is to efficiently and effectively channel funding into promoting development-oriented approaches to new, recurrent and protracted displacement crises, focusing on early operational engagement. To this end, the LiD Grant Facility will support innovative projects with €24 million between 2021 and 2025. Projects funded work across some of the most pressing forced displacement crises in the world, including those countries impacted by crises in Afghanistan, Myanmar, Venezuela, the Horn of Africa, the Sahel region of Africa and Central America. Core to the work of the facility is the harnessing of learning and best practices both locally and regionally to inform work on forced displacement globally.
