SSGT – Supporting People in the International Protection Process Grant

St Stephen’s Green Trust (SSGT) believes a more humane asylum system is needed in Ireland with more effective community-led approaches to the integration of vulnerable migrants such as those in the international protection process. There should be more support and opportunities for the voice of protection applicants to be heard, particularly in issues which affect them.

SSGT is making funding available for organisations with a track-record of advocacy work in relation to migrant issues. Funding is intended to enable groups to make space and time amidst the firefighting for strategic thinking, with a view to addressing one or more of the issues outlined in this paper through strategic advocacy work.

The programme will include three complementary funding strands; Strand One will focus on small once-off grants to support groups to take time out for imaginative and innovative thinking; Strand Two will offer larger grants on a once-off or multi-annual basis to build on existing data and knowledge and/ or as a stimulus for defined pieces of strategic advocacy and; Strand Three will make multi-annual funding available for networks or coalitions to resource and support their systems change agenda.
