60. Are there any DRF/DRAF restrictions due to COVID-19?

Until further notice, grantees may use DRF/DRAF funding for in-person activities, as long as they are permitted by local law, do not involve travel outside your country, and are carried out in a COVID-Safe way in compliance with WHO recommendations (e.g., individuals remain at least 6 feet/1.5 meters apart, wear masks properly, maintain hygiene, do not share objects, etc). To use DRF/DRAF funding for any large group activities, grantees must:

  • submit a COVID-19 Safety Plan to your DRF/DRAF Program Officer,
  • adhere to relevant governmental regulations and WHO recommendations, and
  • provide both in-person and virtual participation options to respect the choice, will and preference of individuals.

For more information, please contact your DRF/DRAF Program Officer.
