AAP 2023 - Culture Package The New Agenda for the Mediterranean and the specific regional multi-annual indicative programme (MIP) for the Southern Neighbourhood (2021-2027), also sets a priority to fight gender discrimination and gender-based violence against women and girls. Gender stereotyping, cultural and social barriers, and insufficient institutional protection continue to undermine women¿s rights in the Southern Neighbourhood. Women¿s economic and public participation remain the lowest in the world, as they are still mostly absent from decision-making and peace processes, not fully represented in politics and policy making, and mostly active in the informal economy. If we speak of using culture for human development in the MENA region, we are undoubtedly aiming to create more just societies that address gender equality as an essential element for sustainable social change. Based on this assumption, on 29 November the Council of Culture Ministers of the EU adopted a Resolution on the EU Work Plan for Culture 2023-2026, setting out priorities to address the main challenges facing the cultural and creative sectors today and corresponding actions to address them. One of the main priorities relates to `culture for co-creative partnerships¿, `culture for the planet¿ and to `strengthening the cultural dimension of the EU external relations¿. Among the main actions to reach this objective, there is access to culture, cultural participation and democracy, the working conditions of artists and the sectors¿ green and digital transitions. Moreover, the EU Work Plan for Culture 2023-2026 makes clear reference to the EU Green Deal by claiming that culture, including cultural heritage, contributes to the sustainability transformation needed to meet the objectives of the EU Green Deal and the 2030 Agenda. Thus, the enhancement of the cultural sector through EU¿s external relations, and in particular regarding the Southern Neighbourhood, is crucial, especially as cultural ecosystems can contribute to raising awareness on climate emergency among different groups of the population.The current action aims to build on what has been already done in order to better tackle cultural industry¿s needs in the Southern Neighbourhood in order to allow cultural workers to play their crucial role as democracy-builders. It aims to specifically focus on cultural ecosystems¿ contribution to build a sense of local and regional community and on cultural workers positive role in upholding global issues such as green and digital transition. It will foster the role of culture in climate action, promoting the change of mindset towards the climate crisis, promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns, circular economy and other topics. Cultural ecosystems will contribute to raising awareness on gender equality and challenge stereotypes and social norms regarding the position of women in the society.
AAP 2022 - Support to Women Economic Empowerment in the Southern Neighbourhood The overall objective of this action, under the name ¿Al Kawa¿, which means ¿strength¿ in Arabic, is to support the economic empowerment of women in the Southern Neighbourhood focusing on the nexus between financial inclusion, access-to-finance, and digitalization. This action will contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 5 (Gender Equality), and in particular indicator 5.a ¿undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources¿, and 5.b ¿enhance the use of enabling technology, to promote the empowerment of women¿. &nbsp;The Action will also contribute towards SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), This will be carried out through two distinct components: &nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Component 1: Support to an enabling regulatory landscape for women economic empowerment in the Southern Neighbourhood&nbsp;This component aims at supporting social and economic reforms at regional level, by fostering peer learning and multi-stakeholder dialogue in line with European and regional best practices. The objective is to support both the development and implementation of targeted reforms, strategies and programmes that will allow more women to access finance to kick off and scale their economic activity, and integrate them in the formal labour market. In this regards, specific attention will be given to capacity building, financial education and other relevant topics and opportunities that can be created from the digital transition to enhance women¿s financial inclusion. In addition, this component will adopt a comprehensive approach to address the specific needs of different groups of women, e.g. rural and young women. Various stakeholders will be engaged including public authorities, business and women associations, representatives of the financial sector but also chosen representatives of women ¿ as ¿national champions¿ and focal points. &nbsp;Finally, this component aims at strengthening capacities of policy-makers, financial institutions and women organisations to better support women¿s financial inclusion and access to finance. It will also promote exchange of best practices and dialogue on these issues at the regional level.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Component 2: Support to the development of skills and innovative products for women economic empowerment&nbsp;For women to reach their full economic and social potential, they need to be supported comprehensively. This includes the development of their skills at different levels, as well as access to innovative financial and non-financial tools. This component will also aim at supporting the sustained effort of the Southern Neighbourhood countries to strengthen women¿s digital and financial skills in order to achieve increased financial inclusion.&nbsp;
