Promoting rights and values by empowering the civic space

TOPIC ID: CERV-2023-CHAR-LITI-CIVIC

Programme: Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV)
Call: Promote civil society organisations’ awareness of, capacity building and implementation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (CERV-2023-CHAR-LITI)
Type of action: CERV-PJG CERV Project Grants
Type of MGA: CERV Action Grant Budget-Based [CERV-AG]
Deadline model: single-stage
Planned opening date: 24 January 2023
Deadline date: 25 May 2023 17:00:00 Brussels time

Objective:
Promoting rights and values by empowering the civic space

In line with the Charter Strategy and following up to the Charter Report 2022 on a thriving civic space for upholding fundamental rights in the EU, projects under this priority should promote rights and values by empowering civil society actors to work together at the local, regional and national levels on the fields covered by the programme. Projects should also help creating a channel of communication with the EU level to report on the state of the civic space in their countries and voice their concerns.

More specifically, projects could create a systematic and comprehensive monitoring system to regularly and consistently monitor the environment in which civil society organisations work in the national contexts, building on the Fundamental Rights Agency indicators about the shrinking civic space and of internal organisations’ data, and in particular of breaches of CSOs and rights defenders’ fundamental rights.

Projects could also support and enhance the protection of CSOs, their members and rights defenders working to protect and promote EU values under attack.

Transnational partnerships with mutual learning possibilities for partners in several EU Member States are particularly encouraged to apply, as well as networks of relevant actors at national level such as National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), Equality bodies, Ombuds-institution and the national Charter Focal Points.
