The CEOI Cover Note provides guidance to organizations on the methodology and application process including the mandatory KOBO form- Please read it carefully.
All submissions and annexes must be submitted in English through the UN Partner Portal https://www.unpartnerportal.org/landing/opportunities/. If applicants are not able to complete the Portal registration process by the submission deadline, submissions via email will not be accepted. Therefore, all applicants are urged to initiate and finalize the portal registration requirements at the earliest possible to avoid any issues.
Organizations are required to submit one concept note per project, regardless of application by one partner or by partner or and sub-contractors.
The Concept Note should not be a fully developed project document and should be concise, outlining the methodology and approach to be used to address the needs and to achieve the expected results under the selected project.

Organizations are required to attach all the supporting documents requested in the Organizational Capacity Review. Failure to submit the necessary documents may limit UNHCR’s capacity to properly review and assess the organization’s capacity to implement the proposed projects.
