Request for proposals for Migration, Inclusion & Community Support 1. Background & Purpose The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is a German political foundation affiliated with the German party Die Linke (the Left). RLS promotes political education, progressive social research, and support for grassroots movements. The RLS Regional Office in Beirut works across Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, supporting initiatives that address deep structural challenges in the region. Migration, both internal and cross-border, is a defining dynamic of the region today. People move for safety, economic opportunity, education, family unity, or survival from violence and environmental shocks. Migrants, refugees, and displaced communities face obstacles including legal exclusion, exploitation, limited access to services, discrimination, and social isolation. Through this Call for Proposals, RLS Beirut aims to support local initiatives, civil-society actors, grassroots groups, and networks working to promote safe, dignified, inclusive, and rights-based approaches to migration across Lebanon, Syria, and/or Iraq. This call will fund two projects that advance positive migration-related outcomes within communities. 2.

Capacity building for migrant and refugee-led organizations to participate effectively in political and community life. Studies, documentation or policy brief on migration dynamics, barriers to inclusion, policy frameworks, best practices, or lived experiences of migrants that offer actionable strategies. Projects that build networks across different migration-impacted communities or across Lebanon, Syria, and/or Iraq. 3. Expected Outputs / Outcomes Applicants should clearly outline expected results.
