Deadline- 22 May 2012
The thematic programme “Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development” was introduced in 2007. The overarching objective of this programme is poverty reduction in the context of sustainable development, including the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and other internationally agreed targets.
It is an “actor-oriented” programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of civil society organisations and local authorities as a pre-condition for a more equitable, open and democratic society through support to their
“own initiatives”.
The global objective of this call for proposals is to support actions presented by Non-State Actors and Local Authorities as well as by association of local authorities which aim at promoting an inclusive and empowered society in partner countries 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 and local authorities in partner countries, with a view to facilitating their participation in defining and implementing poverty reduction and sustainable development strategies; and (iii) facilitate interaction between State and non-State actors in different contexts and support an increased role for local authorities in decentralisation processes.
