Grants to Support Rights-Based CSOs Working on Social Inclusion and Youth in Turkey
About
The European Commission (EC) has launched the call for proposals to strengthen participatory democracy as well as to contribute to the advancement of human and fundamental rights in Turkey by supporting rights-based civil society organisations.
CSF-funded actions have been complemented by yearly allocations under EIDHR, now NDICI thematic line for Human Rights and Democracy.
Objectives
The specific objectives of this call for proposals are:
To support CSOs working on social inclusion of marginalised groups of people;
To support CSOs working on the active and engaged participation of youth in all aspects of societal, economic and democratic life.
Priorities
The priorities of this call are:
Fostering a more inclusive democracy by supporting CSOs working on human and fundamental rights, and especially on the thematic priorities defined by the lots.
Overarching principles are:
Use of a Rights-based Approach (RBA). A rights-based organisation is understood as an organisation that respects the rights-based approach (RBA). The five RBA working principles: applying all rights; participation and access to decision-making process; non-discrimination and equal access; accountability and access to rule of law; transparency and access to information should be implemented as appropriate in relation to any proposed project, in each step of the project cycle from identification, formulation, implementation, monitoring to evaluation.
Gender mainstreaming and use of sex-disaggregated indicators mentioned in EU Gender Action Plan (GAP) III for the period 2021-2025. Gender equality is an integral part of the RBA, encompassing the promotion, protection and fulfilment of all human rights. Gender equality constitutes a fundamental human rights principle and a common value of the European Union (EU Treaties, EU Gender Action Plan 2016-2020). The way that gender equality issues are addressed will be considered and taken into account during the evaluation process. A collection of gender analysis that applicants may want to consult is available on the TACSO website. Applicants will also find there relevant so called ‘Country Level Implementation Plans’ (CLIPs), which explain the strategic engagement of the EU for Gender Equality in each IPA beneficiary.
