The EU has launched a new call for proposals with a total budget of €3.950 million to strengthen civil society organisations working on human rights in Lebanon.
This call for proposals aims at supporting and strengthening civil society organisations (CSOs), democracy activists and human-rights defenders working on the above critical human rights and democracy issues.
The actions under this call for proposals will be implemented by the EU Delegation in Lebanon so as to: (i) better respond to the country-specific context; (ii) be as close as possible to the needs of the rights holders; and (iii) promote a sense of ‘ownership’ of the actions among local actors.
The actions will be in line with: (i) the EU action plan for human rights and democracy 2020-2024; (ii) EU guidelines on human rights; and (iii) the Human Rights and Democracy country strategy. All actions will follow a human rights based approach putting people at the centre of actions and focusing on promoting gender equality.
