Description
1) Objective
Project support for Finnish CSOs is an important form of civil society development cooperation and part of Finland’s development policy implementation. CSOs engaged in development cooperation projects enhance the diversity and impact of Finland’s development cooperation in developing countries around the world through their own fields of expertise and practices. According to the Guidelines for Civil Society in Development Policy (2017), strengthening civil society is both a development policy objective and a means to promote Finland’s other development policy objectives and the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Project support also promotes Finland’s foreign policy objectives, such as the implementation of human rights policy objectives.
Projects eligible for support are:
– Strengthen civil society and its actors and exercise a positive impact on the civic space;
– Promote poverty eradication, reduction of inequality and other objectives of Finland’s development policy;
– Promote gender equality either as a principal objective or as a partial objective or by means of mainstreaming;
– Promote the rights of minorities and other groups in vulnerable position, including persons with disabilities, in accordance with the prohibited grounds for discrimination covered in the UN human rights treaties, paying particular attention to multiple discrimination;
– Emphasise strong local ownership and support the objectives of the local partners as well as their opportunities and ability to act as an effective part of the development of their societies;
– Aim to reach sustainable results in line with Finland’s development policy priorities;
– Rely on the CSOs’ special expertise and ability to carry out projects effectively;
– Bring about a wide range of positive changes, especially at community level;
2) Eligibility
The MFA considers INGOs to be non-profit organisations that operate politically and administratively independently from governments. In the case of a consortium, a fund will be granted to one applicant only, not to a consortium. The applicant INGO is fully responsible for the use of the grant. It is required that the INGO receiving the grant fulfills the minimum requirements.
3) Location
Actions can take place in OECD-DAC countries.
4) Budget
The grand size is not yet published.
5) Application
The call will be open until 8 March 2024.
