Civil Society Organisation (CSO) Thematic Programme in Indonesia

Description

1) Objective

The global objective of this call for proposals is to strengthen local CSOs as independent actors of good governance and development in their own right in priority areas of EU-Indonesia cooperation. The two priorities of this call for proposals are:

• PRIORITY 1: Just green transition – The specific objective is to strengthen CSOs’ engagement in the just green transition, notably in sectors such as energy, agriculture and forestry, with a focus on regions and populations most affected by the transition, women as well as vulnerable groups.
• PRIORITY 2: Gender equality and women’s empowerment – There are two specific objectives:
  2.1 To prevent and respond to gender-based violence in the public and private spheres (offline and online)
  2.2 To enhance the economic empowerment of women and strengthen their economic and social rights

For both priorities, the proposals must foresee capacity development activities (e.g. through training, mentoring and peer support, joint advocacy, etc.) as well as meaningful engagement with all sectors of society, especially women and youth. Proposals contributing to the development of partnerships and networks between EU and Indonesian CSOs are encouraged.
