The Asia Network for People’s Energy (ANPE) is a network of civil society organizations in Southeast Asia that aims to foster a just and democratic energy transition through vibrant engagement, positive just energy transition (JET) narratives, and strengthened civil society participation across the region. It supports network-building, campaigning and learning, and resource mobilization to address gaps in JET and challenges at the country level, with the goal of bringing clean and affordable energy to the ASEAN people by 2030. 

In support of these goals, Oxfam Pilipinas (as the ANPE Secretariat) has established the Communities in Charge (CiC) Fund to serve as ANPE’s microgrant facility, assisting civil society organizations across Southeast Asia in conducting activities towards a just and inclusive energy transition at the local and national levels. 

To formally launch the Fund, the ANPE Secretariat is calling for proposals, encouraging civil society and rights-based organizations to apply for grants ranging from US$5,000 to US$10,000, over a six-month implementation period. The first run of the Fund will provide support to 7-10 organizations with initiatives that align with the Network’s theory of change.

Full eligibility criteria and application details can be found on the Oxfam Pilipinas website. Interested organizations are encouraged to apply through bit.ly/ANPECiCFundApply until August 31, 2026.
