EED Action Grant South II Contract related to: EED Action Grant South II - More than a decade after the Arab Spring outburst and the dramatic developments which unravelled in its aftermath, the Southern Neighbourhood region is at a critical point with regards to democracy, civic and human rights. For instance, in the most repressive regimes of the region, the already very constrained civic spaces and human rights and freedoms have been further pushed back in the last three years and even in countries where the hope for a successful democratisation process was the highest (Tunisia and Lebanon). This goes hand-in-hand with a rampant culture of impunity among the political elites of the region and a significant lack of transparency and accountability which sustain a certain fatigue among the people with regards to democratisation, further aggravated by the anti-democratic and anti-Western discourse which spread across the region as a reaction to Russia¿s war of aggression against Ukraine. In view of these challenges, there is a critical need to support existing pro-democracy actors, as well as emerging ones, in the Southern Neighbourhood region to strengthen their resilience in such difficult civic contexts. In line with the Regional MIP Priority Area 1, via a direct award of a grant to the European Endowment for Democracy (EED), the Action will contribute to promote deep and sustainable democracy in the Southern Neighbourhood countries by supporting prodemocracy civil society activism. It will also foster new pro-democratic actors and media in repressive contexts and preserve and strengthen the existing ones, in particular:-The grant will provide financial support to new and existing pro-democracy actors and media, with due consideration to the complementary nature of EED grant and with attention paid to the potential added value of the EED grant in supporting politically sensitive action proposals, thus aiming to benefit the most vulnerable and marginalised pro-democracy actors.-The grant will fund coaching and capacity-building to existing pro-democracy actors and media, helping them to navigate changing local, national and regional contexts and thus strengthening their resilience. The proposed Action aims to contribute to EU¿s commitment to `promote a rule of law culture through close involvement of civil society¿, and the need to `support concrete initiatives to reinforce civil society organisations and human rights defenders¿, as put in the `Renewed partnership with the Southern Neighbourhood ¿ A new Agenda for the Mediterranean¿ (2021). It also contributes to the goals set by the `EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024¿. The Action also directly contributes to Flagship 2 `Human rights, the rule of law, and modern, effective administrations, governance and accountability¿ of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Southern Neighbours.
