Consultation with Civil Society Organisations for the identification of priority areas for the call for proposals Contract related to: Consultation with Civil Society Organisations for the identification of priority areas for the call for proposals - 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.

Activities funded under the Action will support a broad range of civil society actors including and prioritising, but not limited to, women and youth organisations, In the framework of the Country Roadmaps for EU and Member States engagement with civil society (CSO Roadmaps), all initiatives under the Action will aim at and contribute to strengthening civil society partner¿s institutional and operational capacity through a comprehensive approach; enabling and ensuring their participation; and on improving the environment in which they operate. Particular attention will be paid to CSOs capacities to benefit from the digital transformation which will pay attention to accessible digital technology and reduce the gap on access to ICT.
Activity under preparation Strengthening the rule of law and the fight against corruption in Ghana As recognised in the draft Ghana Development Cooperation Policy and Strategy 2022-2026 (under approval process), corruption is the single most important governance issue in the country: corruption, and perceptions of corruption, have diminished public trust in the government, are a key factor in economic underperformance, and remain major obstacles to development by discouraging foreign aid and investment. Institutions established to tackle corruption and enhance accountability have partially overlapping mandates and coordination and cooperation between institutions, while improving, requires additional support to ensure greater compliance with the rule of law and greater accountability and transparency of institutions. Laws dealing with corruption are not always enforced and some issues such as conflict of interest still need to be formally addressed in legislation. Challenges in strengthening the constitutional and legislative frameworks still exist, in particular the issue of&nbsp;&nbsp;enhancing the independence of accountability bodies and the separation of powers. Ghana has a comprehensive National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP) 2014-2024, however, the current NACAP will expire in 2024 and it is unlikely to be fully implemented by that stage. Civil society and the media, together with oversight institutions, have played a pivotal role in promoting reforms, and can be expected to continue to play such a role in future.

The grants will aim at implementing the priorities listed in annex III Annex of the Regulation (EU) 2021/947 in line with Human Rights and Democracy country strategies. Implementing these priorities will also contribute to the EU action plan on human rights and democracy 2020-2024. The actions financed under the country allocations will be in line with: (i) the relevant EU action plan for human rights and democracy; (ii) EU guidelines on human rights; and (iii) the respective Human Rights and Democracy country strategies.
