What the grant funds
SCA seeks to establish a fund to support community and grassroots civil society organizations whose programs prevent and respond to Child, Early, and Forced Marriage (CEFM) in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and/or Pakistan. The project should identify key factors contributing to CEFM in each country or sub-national region in which the fund will operate, and key interventions that may prevent or respond to CEFM; support selected community or grassroots civil society organizations (CSOs) that work to prevent or respond to CEFM; and provide opportunities for shared learning among the selected CSOs and with other stakeholders.
