Deadline: 16 July 2018
The ROMACT programme, a joint initiative of the Council of Europe and the European Union is currently seeking proposals for its Capacity Building and Transnational Cooperation to promote the integration of Roma at local level.
This Call concerns the Transnational Cooperation and Capacity Building Component of the ROMACT Programme (ROMACT TCC Component) which aims at assisting local authorities in better integrating marginalised people, in particular non-nationals of Roma ethnicity.
It is based on the assumption that local authorities are best placed to identify challenges and needs in their territories as no one-size solution fits all. It also draws on expertise of the Council of Europe, more notably in interventions at local level, intercultural training and Roma mediators training.
Modules
- Intercultural trainings,
- Mediation trainings and
- Support for transnational working visits
Eligibility Criteria
- This call is open to local public authorities.
- Not-for-profit entities can apply if acting under the mandate of the local public authority, in which case a signed letter of intent from the local authority delegating this entity must be included in the application file.
- Selection of applications will be made by the ROMACT Steering Board which includes representatives of the Council of Europe and of the European Commission.
- Applications will be evaluated and selected on the basis of:
- Overall quality of the application
- Concrete, realistic proposals with achievable, measurable results
- Added value of action to address identified challenge
- Link between activity and aims of ROMACT Programme
- Link to previous achievements and to lessons learned from other similar, national and European experiences
