Description
1) Objective
In line with the objectives of the multiannual action plan (MAAP) of the thematic programme for Civil Society Organisations for years 2021-2024, the global objective of this call for proposal is to strengthen local civil CSOs to engage as independent actors of governance and development in their own right. This call has two specific objectives:

The priorities of this call for proposals are:
• To strengthen institutional and operational capacities of CSOs in one or more areas relating to governance, accountability, program, project and financial management, research and analysis, advocacy and communication, sector-specific capacity building and access to funding.
• To strengthen civil society’s ability to uphold, preserve and promote an open and enabling environment by addressing regulatory, administrative, financial or other constraints and lowering barriers such as access to the right to information and countering misinformation.
• To develop alliances or partnerships between CSOs as well as other actors including media, the private sector and academia, with an aim to strengthening institutional and operational capacities of CSOs and/or improving the environment in which CSOs operate.
• To empower women and youth organisations as well as vulnerable groups (including but not limited to children, disabled, indigenous people) as key actors for dialogue to engage in gender equality and youth inclusion.
