The European Union has earmarked some Euro 1.1Ml to support associations operating in the field of human rights in Morocco, according to a communiqué from the European delegation in Rabat.With this amount to finance projects aiming to enhance human rights in the country, Morocco has become one of the largest beneficiaries of the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights under which the fund is granted.
The program can finance up to 90% of the projects falling under these two categories: Promoting human rights culture; and promoting the democratic process.
Non-profit, non-governmental organizations, State-owned higher education institutions, and Morocco-based media outlets are eligible to benefit from the money, said the communiqué.
Last September, following the first call for proposals launched by the EIDHR, 11 Moroccan NGOs benefited from subsidies totalling Euro 1Ml to set up activities meant to promote human rights.
EIDHR is the EU's tool to support the initiatives of the civil society in promoting human rights, democracy and enhancing the rule of law in third countries. The program provides some Euro 100Ml per year, which are distributed evenly between the different world regions.
