Application Deadline: 30th of November 2022.
Ockenden International is looking for projects, activities and/or programmes (each ‘a project’) which advance self-reliance among refugees and/or displaced people. You can enter a project run by your organisation or you can nominate a project managed by a non-profit partner or affiliated organisation. In these Entry Rules, ‘the organisation’ refers to the organisation which manages the project.
Requirements
- Organisations may submit one entry only in each prize year. Unsuccessful organisations are welcome to reapply in future years.
- Previous winners are ineligible for three years.
- The project must benefit refugees and/or displaced people with a strong emphasis on promoting self-reliance. The primary focus of the project must be helping refugees and/or displaced people in need, rather than this being an ancillary benefit.
- The organisation must be able to show that the project has been effective with measurable evidence of positive outcomes.
- The project entered must be up-and-running before the 1st of March 2022.
- Entrants must include a copy of the organisation’s latest audited accounts with their application. Where audited accounts are not available, entrants will have to provide other evidence of sound financial governance.
- Organisations must have high standards of financial and administrative governance.
- During the short-listing process, entrants may be asked to provide references or other evidence of the project and their financial and administrative governance. This may include due diligence on bank accounts nominated by entrants for the receipt of prize money.
- All short-listed entrant referees will be asked to provide references and any other evidence related to the organisation’s entered or nominated project.
- The two nominated referees required by all entrants must be third-party, relevant external observers.
- Prize money will only be paid to a bank account held in the organisation’s name. In no circumstances will prize money be paid to a personal bank account. Ockenden International will not be responsible for any bank or transfer fees.
Timeline:
- The deadline for entering the 2023 Ockenden International Prizes, launched on September 1, 2022, is midnight (GMT) on Wednesday the 30th of November 2022.
- The winners will be announced by the 31st of March 2023.
