Background Max. Grant amount: EUR 1.2 million
Civil society activities encourage citizens to organise themselves and to collaborate in their common interest in a constructive and structured dialogue with public institutions, contributing to a more open, participatory and consequently a more dynamic democratic society.
Through their lobbying, advocacy and oversight activities at national, regional and local level, civil society can make a substantial contribution to addressing many of the main challenges IPAII beneficiaries are faced to, especially in fields like the democratic governance, the rule of law and fundamental rights, including freedom of expression & association and minority rights. In these and other priority areas identified in this call for proposals (i.e. migration and asylum, reconciliation and social inclusion, etc.), civil society actors and thematic networks can demand for and stimulate enhanced transparency, accountability and effectiveness from public institutions, and facilitate a greater focus on the needs of citizens in policy-making.
