Which is the program that supports Civil Society Organisations based in Mexico?

The European Commission’s CSO-LA thematic program will provide specific support to civil society organizations in México in order to contribute to the achievement of the SDG 107 that aims at reducing inequality and the SDG 168 dedicated to the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies.

Objectives of the programs are:

• The global objective of this call for proposals is to support CSOs as actors of governance in their own right by strengthening their capacity to participate effectively in public policies formulation and in the monitoring of public policies implementation in order to contribute to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), in particular SDGs 10 and 16, to promote and strengthen social cohesion and ensure no one is left behind.
• The specific objectives of this call for proposals are to support CSOs in Mexico in developing public awareness and critical understanding of the causes, consequences, identify and formulate solutions to economic inequalities and engaging with public authorities and legislative powers at federal and state levels to advocate for public policies aligned to the SDGs objectives and the access for all to quality public services aiming at reducing income inequalities.
• Actions proposed must prioritise the participation of Youth and Women (including minorities) as agents for change.

The deadline to submit applications for this program is 3-Jun-21.
