The European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) was adopted by the European
Parliament and the Council in December 20061. This instrument took the place of the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights, which was created at the proposal of the European Parliament in 1994 and makes it possible to give financial support for activities aiming to strengthen democracy and human rights around the world during the 2007-2013 financial perspectives.
The general objective of the EIDHR is to contribute to the development and consolidation of democracy and the rule of law and respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms, consistent with the European Union’s foreign policy as a whole.
The global objective of this Call for Proposals is to enhance the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in countries and situations where they are most at risk and where human rights defenders and civil society organisations work under severe constraints and are most under pressure.
The specific objective of this Call for Proposals is to support and protect human rights and their defenders by reinforcing their capacities to do their work in the short and long-term, as well as providing tangible support and means of action to local civil society in the promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms in some of the world's most difficult, dangerous, repressive and unpredictable political situations and/or where they are the most vulnerable and threatened.
The overall indicative amount made available under this Call for Proposals is € 15.000.000. The Contracting Authority reserves the right not to award all available funds. Equally, this amount could be increased should more funds become available.
