Programmes must meet all criteria as outlined in the UNTFHS Guidelines. Submissions are reviewed for their salience in applying the human security approach to address multidimensional and interconnected challenges with a range of relevant stakeholders in an integrated and preventive manner, and to deliver concrete and sustainable benefits to people and communities threatened in their survival, livelihoods, and dignity (see key funding criteria in section IV of the UNTFHS Guidelines). Efforts to utilise the human security approach to advance innovative ways of addressing multifaceted challenges are encouraged. Programmes with clear and feasible strategies for replication and expansion beyond the proposal will be given priority attention.
Selected programmes provide a strong rationale for the value of the human security approach in addressing the identified challenges and justify support from the UNTFHS as opposed to other sources of funding. Moreover, the selection process considers geographical and thematic distribution. See question 5 above and refer to the UNTFHS Guidelines for more information.
Lastly, in addition to clearly demonstrating the relevance of the programme to the key funding criteria, applying organizations should receive the consent of the recipient Government to implement the programme and should ensure that programme activities are in line with national strategies and priorities so as to advance national ownership, sustainability and replication.
