BACKGROUND

The European Union (EU) has a long-standing relationship and cooperation with non-governmental and other civil society organisations as well as with local and decentralised authorities in the field of development. It is part of the EU commitment to fighting poverty and promoting the rule of law and adherence to fundamental freedoms set out in Article 177 (former Article 130u) of the Lisbon Treaty.

In 1976 budget-line 21-02-03 (ex-B7-6000 - Co-financing with NGOs) was set up to enable the EC to support actions proposed by European NGOs specialised in development co-operation, as part of its own development co-operation policy. These actions were intended to make a direct and lasting contribution to improving the living conditions and development prospects of the disadvantaged and marginalised in developing countries. From 1979 onwards, a component for raising the awareness of the European public of development issues was included. As of 1992 budget-line 21 02 13 (Decentralised Cooperation) was added as another privileged channel of cooperation with non-state actors and decentralised authorities.

The thematic programme “Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development”, introduced in 2007, should be seen as the successor of the above budget-lines. The overarching objective of this programme is poverty reduction in the context of sustainable development, including the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and other internationally agreed targets.

OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES OF THIS CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The global objective of this call for proposals is poverty reduction in the context of sustainable development, including the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and other internationally agreed targets.

It is an “actor-oriented” programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of civil society organisations and local authorities as a pre-condition for a more equitable, open and democratic society through support to their “own initiatives”. The programme therefore supports actions aimed at promoting an inclusive and empowered society in partner countries.
