The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe is launching a call for the attribution of grants aiming at strengthening capacities of eight civil society organisations in the Southern Mediterranean to ensure a greater access to protection structures and services for victims/survivors of violence against women and girls.
In the framework of the joint programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe, "Regional Support to Reinforce Human rights, Rule of Law and Democracy in the Southern Mediterranean" (South Programme IV), the North-South Centre is coordinating a regional grant scheme which will support the implementation of national or local activities in Southern Mediterranean countries. It aims at promoting the multi-sectoral cooperation and/or coordination for the protection of victims/survivors of gender-based-violence in compliance with both human rights-based and victim-centred approaches.
The regional grant scheme will consist in the provision of a grant and preliminary capacity-building activity, to one organisation or consortium of organisations from civil society per target country of the project, namely Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine* and Tunisia.
Interested candidates must submit the required documentation by email ([email protected]) following the procedure as stated in the Call:
