Resume
The EIDHR is a “niche instrument” under the European Commission. Calls for proposals under this instrument are designed to support small-scale and innovative actions by civil society organisations in the field of human rights and democracy. Partners will apply for funding under "Lot 1: Support to the fight on violence against children" with a specific objective “to support the work of civil society organisations in addressing the needs of vulnerable and marginalised groups with a particular focus on supporting the empowerment of these groups to claim their rights.” A requirement of the EIDHR is that applicants provide match funding equivalent to at least 25 percent of the total project budget. CISU's amount will cover the major part while Viva Denmark will provide the remaining funds.
