31-01-2012

 Fourteen non-governmental organisations in Georgia have been selected to implement activities aimed at strengthening the role of civil society in the country, according to a press release from EU Delegation in Tbilisi. The main focus of their activities, funded under the Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR), will be promoting human rights and democratic reform, supporting rule of law and good governance.

 
These Georgian and European NGOs will implement micro projects with priority areas of the rights of vulnerable groups (including internally displaced persons, ethnic, religious and other minorities, children, women, persons with disabilities), health, economic, social, cultural, labour rights, equal treatment and physical integrity, and integration issues.
 
The projects were chosen from the €1.2 million EIDHR Call for Proposals launched in April 2011. Project budgets range from €38,000 to €100,000.
