IEEE SIGHT Projects – 2018

Call for Proposals The IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC) is tasked with supporting the IEEE Board-endorsed vision of IEEE volunteers around the world carrying out and/or supporting impactful Humanitarian Activities at the local level – i.e. “feet on the ground.” IEEE HAC funds the activities of the SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) Program, which is a network of IEEE volunteers around the world that partner with underserved communities and local organisations to address local societal challenges through the exploitation of technology in the sustainable development and humanitarian technology space.

The SIGHT Steering Committee is currently inviting proposals for Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Activities related projects aligned with this vision.

The committee will review proposals during 2018 and expects to fund 12 - 15 proposals with budgets between $1000 and US$19,999.

Proposals that address one or more UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a coherent way will be prioritised for funding -

http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/. Proposals should take a holistic, community-based approach taking account of relevant environmental, cultural, socio-economic & infrastructural issues and policy priorities. Proposals must demonstrate consultation with and a clear understanding of the needs of target communities, and demonstrate a needs’ driven approach to strengthening local capacity through technology deployment. Proposals requesting a larger budget contribution (US$10,000 – US$19,999) will be considered on a case by case basis, based on progress achieved with previous related activities.

Term of funding: Up to 12 months following the award date.

Any proposal which requests

(i) funding of less than $500/$1000 OR more than $19,999,

(ii) is incomplete,

(iii) does not have active local community involvement and “Local” IEEE Volunteer involvement or

(iv) for which a completed IEEE SIGHT Projects Budget Application Form is not submitted will not be reviewed.
