The European Union through its thematic instrument, EIDHR, is inviting CSOs to respond to a global call or proposals whose deadline is 1st of October 2015. The Global call for proposals pursues five objectives enshrined in five different lots:
The aim is to Support Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) organisations working at grassroots level.
The organisation said general objective of this lot is to provide support to human rights defenders organisations working at grassroots level, in particular in most difficult situations and remote areas.
"Location: actions must take place outside the European Union. Nevertheless, if duly justified, some activities may take place in the EU countries when they are directly related to situations arising in third countries and for the benefit of those countries. These reasons will be examined during the evaluation of the Concept Note," said EIDHR.
"Also, actions must take place in a minimum of two countries.When the applicant is not a local organisation, it must act with at least one local co-applicant(s) per country where the action will take place."
The organisation said under this lot, financial support to third parties is compulsory.and that is to contribute to the monitoring and the effective implementation of the specific international core conventions ratified by GSP+ beneficiary countries in the EU Generalised Scheme of Preferences+ (GSP+) context.
"The general objective of this lot is to support civil society and social partners' actions in ensuring that current EU GSP+ beneficiary's countries meet their commitments to ratify and effectively implement core international conventions,"said the organisation. "Location: actions must take place in ALL of the GSP+ beneficiaries' countries in 2016 namely, Armenia, Bolivia, Georgia, Cape Verde, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay and the Philippines.
