The Counterpart International-implemented Promoting Advocacy and Rights project (hereafter referred to as CPI/PAR), funded through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Kingdom Agency for International Development (UKaid), is seeking concept papers first, then full applications from prospective applicants to implement activities that are possible within Bangladesh’s current national or legal framework and:

• Address community-based issues that cut across geographic locations, horizontally as well as vertically, culminating in addressing issues at the Upazila, regional or national level, using multiple methods of intervention at each appropriate level; and
• Address community-based issues exclusive to one or more aspects of the priority advocacy issue that are common across several sectors. Select a specific range of problems to be addressed and identify key points of engagement.
