Participation in the international program: Active Citizens 4 Human Rights

Active Citizens 4 Human Rights is a program that brings together more than 50 organizations working on human rights issues from all Active Citizens Fund countries and Norway.

The program runs from March 2021 to March 2022 and consists of monthly online meetings and a final offline event in Oslo, Norway to be held in March 2022, depending on the pandemic situation.

The program is organized by the Norwegian Helsinki Committee, the entity designated to deal with bilateral relations on behalf of Norway under the Active Citizens Fund and the The Civil Society Development Foundation and Frivillighet Norge, on behalf of Active Citizens Fund Romania.

The aim of this program is to give the opportunity for organizations from beneficiary countries of the EEA Grants and Norway to come together, learn and discuss issues that they have in their organizations and in their work, especially in relation to specific challenges for building capacity of human rights NGOs.

The idea is to create a platform for learning and sharing experience about capacity building for human rights NGOs and to enhance cooperation and enable partnership between entities in Norway and beneficiary countries in relation to capacity building for human rights issues.

At the end of the program, each organization should have raised awareness in dealing with capacity building issues; raised awareness about different strategies applied by organizations in relation to capacity building and raised cooperation among participating organizations for possible future international partnerships.
