2011 Call for Proposals- European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR)
Objective of EIDHR
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.

This instrument is designed to help civil society to become an effective force for political reform and defence of human rights. In doing this, it aims to complement the geographical programmes that work through direct cooperation with governments and mostly focus on public institution-building.

This call for proposals is launched under Objective 2 - "strengthening the role of civil society in humanrights and democratic reform, in facilitating the peaceful conciliation of group interests and in consolidating political participation and representation"; and Objective 3 – "Supporting actions on human rights and democracy issues in areas covered by EU Guidelines, including on the death penalty" of the EIDHR Strategy

The specific objectives of the call for proposal are:
(1) For lot 1 - to assist civil society networks in countries outside the EU where these organisations benefit from a relatively open space to operate through transnational (regional and global) activities.
(2) For lot 2 - to support activities aiming to restrict the number of offences for which the death penalty may be imposed; to insist on the application of the minimum standards when an execution is carried out; to advocate the establishment of a moratorium on executions, with a view to the eventual abolition of the death penalty. The EIDHR will support actions which foresee an integrated approach to the fight against the death penalty.

The following indicative list of themes can be targeted by this Call:
• Death penalty
• Rights of the Child
• Children & armed conflict
• Women's rights & gender equality
• Trafficking in human beings
• Human rights & terrorism
• Human rights & business + trade
• Democracy & elections
• Economic, social & cultural rights – Millennium Development Goals
• The right to development
• Intercultural dialogue
• Racism, xenophobia, non-discrimination & respect for diversity
• Rights of persons belonging to minorities
• Persons with disabilities
