The specific objective of this Call for Proposals is: to strengthening the role of civil society in promoting human rights and democratic reform, in supporting the peaceful conciliation of group interests and in consolidating political participation and representation.
The new instrument aims at helping civil society to become an effective force for political reform and defence of human rights in Third countries. In this way, it will complement the new generation of geographical programmes, which will increasingly mainstream democracy and human rights, though focusing primarily on public institution-building. The EIDHR offers independence of action, allowing for the delivery of assistance in principle without the need for government consent, which is a critical feature of cooperation with civil society organizations at national level, especially in the sensitive areas of democracy and human rights. It also offers more flexibility and capacity to respond to changing circumstances or to support innovation.
The EIDHR will thus be global in scope, operating at national, regional and international level, supporting actions in third countries around the globe, and also in Member States if relevant to needs in third countries.
