*European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR)

*ABOUT EIDHR*
*Background *
The European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) is a long established element of the European Union (EU) human rights external policy that aims to promote human rights, democracy and conflict prevention in third countries by providing financial support for activities supporting these goals. The EIDHR is designed to support human rights and democracy activities carried out by civil society organisations (CSOs).
The current implementation action is based on the EIDHR Strategy Paper of 2007-2010 <http://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/where/worldwide/eidhr/index_en.htm> that was adopted in August 2007 with five objectives:
1. Enhancing respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in countries and regions where they are most at risk;
2. *Strengthening the role of civil society in promoting human rights and democratic reform, in supporting conflict prevention and in consolidating political participation and representation; *
3. Supporting actions on human rights and democracy issues in areas covered by EU Guidelines, including on human rights dialogues, on human rights defenders, on the death penalty, on torture, and on children and armed conflict;
4. Supporting and strengthening the international and regional framework for the protection of human rights, justice, the rule of law and the promotion of democracy;
5. Building confidence in and enhancing the reliability and transparency of democratic electoral processes, in particular through election observation.
A restricted call for proposals for the EIDHR Country-based Support Scheme (CBSS) Indonesia is now open to select actions to implement *Objective 2 of the Strategy Paper*.
EIDHR CBSS is managed directly by the Delegation of the European Commission (EC) in Indonesia, building on the experience of micro project facilities under the previous EIDHR <http://www.delidn.ec.europa.eu/en/newsroom/newsroom_5.htm>. Other objectives are implemented through numerous calls for proposals at global and regional levels.

Focus area of activities are:
