Actions or projects proposed under this call for proposals should be based in a developing country and participation of local NGOs is a must either way: If local organizations are proposing, they should ensure that they need partnerships with European international organizations and if European INGOs are proposing for support, they need to partner with local NGOs. This is a multi-country funding partnership and projects should expand in at least two countries. Preference to be given to projects implemented in least developed countries. “All actions must be based on an initiative of local organisations (NSA and/or LA) in the partner countries where the actions will take place and should ensure their involvement during all stages of the implementation of the action.” Following are the specific priorities, actions and objectives that can be proposed:
EC Call for Proposals under “Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development” (Multi-Country Opportunity with Local Partnerships) – 2
(i) improving the capacity of Non-State Actors from partner countries to engage in local, national and international decision making processes;
(ii) improving linkages, partnerships and networking (North-South and South-South) between Non-State Actors and Local Authorities from the European Union and from the partner countries (thematic fora, coordination, consensus building, advocacy, communication and information systems, etc.);
(iii) providing innovative service delivery and service delivery in difficult/out of reach environments;
(iv) facilitating interaction and exchanges between State and Non-State Actors in different contexts and
(v) reinforcing the role of Non State Actors in partnership with Local Authorities notably in decentralisation and local governance processes.
Since project activities can include strengthening local capacities, informing citizen rights, understanding government/international policies and their implications, the component of capacity building will be crucial in all projects.
