The EEA Civil Society fund is a new fund aimed at strengthening democracy, human rights and the rule of law across Europe. The fund represents a vital lifeline to civil society organisations at a time when democratic institutions are facing unprecedented challenges. The fund promises to allocate approximately €10 million to Latvia to support civil society to an unprecedented level.
The fund will focus on areas essential for the promotion of democracy, rule of law and human rights. These include:
- Democratic values, civic engagement, information integrity and media literacy.
- Civil society participation in democratic processes.
- Human rights, anti-discrimination, and social justice.
- Gender equality, including sexual and reproductive health and rights, and LGBTIQ+ rights.
- Climate action, environmental protection, and a just green transition.
- Organisational development and an enabling environment for civil society.
