The main beneficiaries of the EIDHR “Support to Human Rights Defenders” call for proposals 2010 should be human rights defenders and their families. Expected results can include “increased financial, material and other forms of support available to human rights defenders, both to respond to situations of urgent need and to contribute to their work in the longer-term; timely and responsive mechanisms and capacities to provide protection to defenders at risk; increased awareness of the need of and of strategies aimed at the protection and security of defenders; enhanced advocacy and lobbying capacities of human rights defenders’ organisations and individuals; enhanced capacities of human rights defenders’ organisations and individuals to monitor, report and combat human rights violations and their impunity in their region; stronger networking among civil society organisations committed to the support of human rights defenders on a regional and a global scale; increased capacities of human rights organisations at grass-root level, particularly those living in remote and rural areas, to guarantee their financial and organisational sustainability in the medium and long-term; and increased national and international awareness among human rights organisations of international mechanisms of protection and promotion of human rights, including the EU Guidelines on human rights defenders.”
This is a restricted call for proposals and only concept notes have to be submitted initially (format given in the grant application form). The full application will be requested later after the evaluation of the concept notes. All applicants should be registered at PADOR.
