Call for Proposals - Support to local networks in protecting vulnerable groups against stigmatization, discrimination and bias-motivated offences in the Republic of Moldova

This call for proposals is launched within the framework of the Council of Europe project “Promoting non-discrimination in the Republic of Moldova” and is implemented under the Council of Europe Action Plan for the Republic of Moldova 2021-2024 in which the Council of Europe and the Moldovan authorities have agreed to carry forward jointly, through co-operation projects, reforms in a number of areas, including anti-discrimination and equality.

The project runs in close synergy and is complementary to the Council of Europe project “Enhancing diversity and equality in the Republic of Moldova”.

The Council of Europe intends to award one grant with a maximum amount of 30,000 EUR (thirty thousand Euros).

Projects/actions that involve the local support networks created with the support of the Council of Europe at the district level in Dubasari, Cimislia, Soroca and Calarasi will be considered to be assets. These networks should further engage and expand partnerships with/among NGOs from these districts.

The support networks were formed under the Council of Europe project “Enhancing diversity and equality in the Republic of Moldova”, aiming to safeguard vulnerable groups (LGBTI, women, ethnic and religious minorities, people with physical and mental disabilities, amongst the others) from discrimination, hatred and bias motivated offences. The members of the four district networks are representatives of local public authorities (Directorate of Education, Directorate of Social Assistance and Family Protection), social workers, police officers, NGOs, Roma community mediators and civic activists.
