The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) invites organizations led by refugees, asylum seekers, people with a humanitarian residence and stateless people, living in Brazil to participate in the 2024 Call for Expression of Interest and present their proposal for the Small Grants established by UNHCR in the country.
