Call | Union Values |
Description of call "Union Values" | Objective: The overall aim of this call for proposals is to protect, promote and raise awareness of EU fundamental rights and values by supporting local, regional and/or national civil society organisations and increasing their capacity thereby also strengthening the effective application of the Charter and the respect of the rule of law and of democracy in the EU. The purpose of this call for proposals is to select and support a limited number of intermediaries in the greatest number of Member States, capable of building the capacities of a large number of civil society organisations (CSOs) active at local, regional and/or national level in the fields covered by the CERV programme, including through providing them with financial support. Reach out to grassroot small, remote and rural based CSOs: intermediaries should give priority to grass-root small, remote and rural based organisations which tend to have more limited capacity and funding sources. A civil society organisation (CSO) is to be understood as an organisational structure whose members serve the general interest through a democratic process, and which plays the role of mediator between state authorities and citizens. The EU considers CSOs to include all non-State, not-for-profit structures, who are non-partisan and non–violent, that promote and protect the fundamental rights and values on which the EU is founded. Scope: The priorities of this call are:
Applications must foresee the provision of financial support to civil society organisations active at local, regional and national level and which promote and protect fundamental rights and EU’s values, and carry out activities in the fields covered by the CERV programme. EU funding should contribute to support, empower and build the capacity of independent civil society organisations active in the promotion and protection of EU values and fundamental rights, whose activities help the strategic enforcement of rights under EU law and the Charter. Proposals should be based on and include a thorough assessment of the CSOs landscape (in the country(ies) covered), the challenges they face and their needs. Activities funded must comply with and promote the principles of the rule of law, fundamental rights and democracy. Proposals must include both categories of activities:
Other relevant and innovative activities may be considered. Expected Impact:
