Organisation of dialogue between EU/Member States and Civil Society Organisation representatives as a prelude to the partnership dialogue with the Government of Ghana Contract related to: Organisation of dialogue between EU/Member States and Civil Society Organisation representatives as a prelude to the partnership dialogue with the Government of Ghana - Human rights and democracy are founding values of the EU. Protecting and promoting HR&amp;D is therefore a key priority of the EU¿s external action. It is also a precondition for sustainable development and for building more inclusive, open and resilient societies.Yet, recent data show that globally, most countries are far from having acceptable human rights and democracy track records. In this context, worsened by the COVID crisis, the EU re-affirmed its commitment to support human rights and democracy worldwide by adopting the `Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024¿. The Action Plan identifies priorities and key actions, to ensure that the EU plays a greater role in promoting and defending human rights and democracy throughout its external action. The Regulation (EU) 2021/947 (Global Europe) establishes the legal basis for the human rights and democracy actions. Particularly, its annex III details the areas of intervention for human rights and democracy.The overall objective of the present action is to contribute to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, democracy and the rule of law worldwide. The action will achieve this objective by supporting and strengthening civil society organisations (CSOs), democracy activists and human-rights defenders working on critical human rights and democracy issues in non-EU countries. It may also cover, where relevant, the promotion of international humanitarian law. Consequently, it will contribute to the 5 priorities of the Multiannual Indicative programme 2021-2027 as well as the specific priorities set out for the additional funding coming from the cushion.This action will mainly be implemented by EU Delegations in-country so as to: (i) better respond to the country-specific contexts; (ii) be as close as possible to the needs of the rights holders; and (iii) promote a sense of `ownership¿ of the action among local actors. The actions financed at country level will be in line with: (i) the EU action plan for human rights and democracy; (ii) EU guidelines on human rights; and (iii) the respective Human Rights and Democracy country strategies or priorities under the EU accession process. All actions will follow a human rights based approach putting people at the centre of actions and also focusing on promoting gender equality.

Preventing Electoral Violence and Providing Security to the Northern Border Regions of Ghana (NorPrevSec) Programme - Output 2 - Conflict prevention and countering violent extremism The action will address the root causes of inter-ethnic and communal violence and will aim at preventing the rise of violent extremism, as well as political and religious radicalisation, predominantly among vulnerable youth. The stark developmental differences between the five northernmost regions, which are largely poorer than the southern regions of the country, predispose young people in the former towards violent tendencies. Similarly in the case of political vigilantism, these issues require real solutions. In order to do so, relevant existing peacebuilding mechanisms and structures, constructed with the purpose of soothing and/or resolving land-related, chieftaincy and farmer-herder disputes, need to be strengthened and supported. The proposed programme will aim at bringing security actors closer to the population, inter alia, through institutional strengthening, various confidence-building activities, trainings and awareness-raising campaigns, conducted especially during a tense pre-electoral period and right after the voting takes place. In this way, the action will also improve early warning mechanisms through strengthening the role of civil society, as well as traditional and religious leaders in that regard.
