<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear colleagues from the Facilitation Team,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>we have received the guidance to apply for funds for the
tribunals on gender and climate change (see below). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For the time being the tribunals confirmed are the ones in
India (this one is already covered in terms of funds) and in Belem. Nepal is
also considering holding a tribunal. Sharmila will be sending information on
this respect. We are exploring a possibility in Europe, and there is also a
possibility in Botswana. As you see below, the deadline for presentation is 24
August. I will put all the proposals together as one proposal from the FTF. So I
need from those of you who will be running the tribunals to send me all the
information at the latest by next week. If you have any doubts, write to me or
Rosa, or call me using Skype (my Skype name is anajairo2)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I look forward to your comments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Greetings,</FONT></DIV>

HEARINGS FUNDING – YOUR PROPOSAL</DIV></DIV>

<H3><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>COP15 AND CLIMATE JUSTICE
POVERTY HEARINGS FUNDING – YOUR PROPOSAL</SMALL></FONT></H3>
<P><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>Following the success of
last year’s Poverty Hearings organised by the Feminist Task Force, Oxfam has
offered some funding to support the staging of Climate Justice Poverty Hearings
as a mobilisation tool on the road to the UNFCCC in Copenhagen. We need to hear
about the reality on the ground, and about potential transformation that people
can come up with in agriculture, enterprise and energy infrastructure, if given
half a (financial) chance….Then we can approach politicians at all levels – not
just with problems and claims but with proposals….</SMALL></FONT></P>
<P><B><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>If you would like to
apply for this funding, you need to submit a proposal by August 25<SUP>th</SUP>.
Following the first selection, there will be a second round of applications with
deadline for September 25<SUP>th</SUP>.</SMALL></FONT></B></P>
<P><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>We will consider
applications for funding from around USD5,000 to USD12,000. You will need to
include in your application:</SMALL></FONT></P>
<OL>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>Details about the event,
including date, objectives, plan</SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>An outline of how the
hearing fulfils the criteria for application, please address each point
separately</SMALL></FONT>

<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>Agreement to sign a
contract on successful application</SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>Proof that there is a
legal entity to receive and manage the funds</SMALL></FONT> </LI></OL>
<P><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>Selection will be based on
the submission of proposals, which must fulfil the following
criteria:</SMALL></FONT></P>
<OL>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>The proposal must come
from an active national coalition or constituency group with a previous track
record of impactful anti-poverty campaigning in their country/constituency,
including mass mobilization</SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>The proposal must
demonstrate a strong link between climate change campaigning and other GCAP
strategic objectives (e.g. gender justice and/or financing for development)
</SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>The proposal must include
a clear description of how the hearing would contribute to leveraging
political pressure at a national and/or regional level, and at an
international level where relevant </SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>There must be a clear
explanation of how the national coalition will include mass mobilisation as
the main or significant element of their proposal, and confirm that numbers
attending any mass mobilisation events will be counted and these numbers
(rather than the data) is forwarded on to the Global Campaign for Climate
Action to contribute to a global total for Copenhagen </SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>Each proposal must
include a plan for communicating the climate hearing(s) to a wide audience,
including the use of media work, and creating high quality footage/images of
the testimony given at the hearing(s). </SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>The proposal must
demonstrate how campaigning on climate change in that country/constituency
group will be sustained after the hearing </SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>The proposal must include
a sound monitoring and evaluation plan </SMALL></FONT>
<LI><FONT face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><SMALL>If possible, the proposal
must include a link between climate change campaigning and the Stand Up 2009
mobilisation</SMALL></FONT> </LI></OL>
