The EU funding program “NDICI Support to Civil Society, Human Rights and Democracy in Palestine” aims to sustainably strengthen local civil society through targeted grants. With a budget for 2025 and 2026, the European Commission supports initiatives that protect human rights, expand democratic processes, and secure fundamental freedoms. The focus is on partnerships with civil society actors, non-governmental organizations, and human rights organizations that implement effective projects in various fields – from social inclusion and rural development to labor and social affairs. The measure contributes to promoting social cohesion and making local structures more resilient.
