Deadline: 16-Oct-20
The Nordic Council of Ministers welcome applications with proposals aimed at combating gender segregation in the labour market. The Nordic Co-Operation Programme for Gender Equality 2019–2022 highlights the continued challenge that the gender-segregated labour market poses in the Nordic countries.
The application must contain a clear analysis of the identified problems, set goals based on this analysis, and give reasons for choosing processes, actions and activities that are relevant to the process of change to be implemented in order to achieve the goals.
The Nordic Council of Ministers hopes to address this neglected need and achieve real, lasting change by targeting the call to proposals for change projects carried out in collaborations between:
- Volunteer organisations (citizen organisations/not-for-profit organisations)
- Networks
- Government agencies and other public sector activities
- Municipalities and regions
- Universities and research institutes
- Other non-commercial actors
- Business enterprises (SMEs).
Funding Information
- The grant comprises a total of around DKK 4 million, which will be allocated to 2-3 projects to be implemented over a four-year period. The amount of funding applied for should be between DKK 1–2 million.
Eligibility Criteria
- Each project must involve at least the three Nordic countries, where the Faroe Islands, Greenland and the Aaland Islands may constitute one of these only. In addition, grants can be awarded to activities that include cooperation in neighbouring areas, i.e. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and north-west Russia, that also include at least two Nordic countries.
- The principal applicant should come from a Nordic country or the Faroe Islands, Greenland, or the Aaland Islands.
- Collaboration between different types of actors is essential for breaking the gender segregation trend in the labour market. Yet it is common that initiatives for change in the area of gender equality are carried out in project form within similar organisations rather than in collaborations between the various actors involved.
