On-line application System (GMS)

The Secretariat of the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture launched in 2008 an on-line system to allow organizations to submit applications for funding and reports on the use of grants.

The on-line system is regularly updated in order to respond to the needs of our grantees and to be the best possible interface between them and the Secretariat.

For instruction on how to submit your application, please refer to the User’s Manual.
