We are pleased to announce a call for applications for a new PLRCAP Master Course “Capacity Strengthening for Local and National Organizations working in the BAY States to increase access to funding”. As an initiative of the Nigeria INGO Forum (NIF), PLRCAP is a demand-driven institutional capacity strengthening program, targeting Nigerian NGOs working in humanitarian contexts of Nigeria. Through its NGO Support Hub, PLRCAP delivers a range of cost-effective support opportunities to support and accompany Nigerian frontline local and national actors, their staff and volunteers in their growth and sustainability objectives.

The Increasing Access to Funding course looks to provide comprehensive training and mentorship support for local and national NGOs working in the BAY states, who are operating in response to the humanitarian crisis with the goal of increasing access to funding and reach of their services. The program will provide sustainable, ongoing support through peer learning, access to essential tools, guidelines, and expert assistance via the PLRCAP NGO Support Hub. Additionally, it will explore opportunities to boost financial investment in Nigerian NGOs delivering critical humanitarian aid. The initiative will also foster greater dialogue and networking between INGOs and Nigerian national NGOs, advancing the localization agenda in Nigeria.

To be eligible to apply, organizations must:

• Be legally registered with local, state or federal government as not-for-profits in Nigeria.

• Have a humanitarian or development footprint: Organizations must demonstrate a significant presence and active involvement in providing humanitarian assistance, particularly in the Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states.
