The Thematic programme ''Civil Society Organisations and Local Authorities 2014-2020'' adopted in 2014 aims at contributing to the implementation of these policy provisions. Framed by the overarching goals of the Regulation (EU) No 233/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (DCI) for the period 2014-2020, the objective of this Programme is to strengthen civil society organisations and local authorities in EU partner countries and to contribute to the achievement of more effective development objectives while responding to citizens’ demands and promoting inclusive and sustainable local development.

The global objective of this call for proposals is to enhance Civil Society Organisations and Local Authorities' contributions to good governance and sustainable development processes at the local level.
