The European Commission has a long-standing relationship with non-governmental and other civil society organisations, as well as local and decentralised authorities, in the area of development. In 1976 a first actor oriented budget line specifically supporting actions with European Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) was created, and since 1992 a Decentralised Co-operation budget line has been added as another key channel of cooperation with non-state actors and decentralised authorities in the area of development.
The global objective of this Call for Proposals is poverty reduction in the context of sustainable development, including the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and other internationally agreed targets.
The specific objectives of this Call for Proposal are: to support operations aiming at promoting an inclusive and empowered society in Tajikistan in order to (i) benefit populations out of reach of mainstream services and resources and excluded from policy making processes; (ii) strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations, with a view to facilitating their participation in defining and implementing poverty reduction and sustainable development public policies and strategies, as well as providing analytical expertise in these areas and (iii) facilitate open public debate on issues of national and local importance.
