Minority Rights Group on koos PILnet teinud koostööd programmi “Minorities, Accountability, Rights, Independence and Organizational Development” (MARIO) (“Vähemused, vastutus, õigused, sõltumatus ja organisatsiooni areng”) raames, et luua toetav keskkond kodanikuühiskonna rohujuuretasandi organisatsioonidele, kes tegelevad ELi väärtuste edendamise ja kaitsmisega Bulgaarias, Poolas, Slovakkias, Ungaris, Horvaatias, Lätis, Tšehhi Vabariigis, Eestis, Leedus, Rumeenias ja Sloveenias.
Me valime välja, anname rahalist toetust ja suurendame toetuste abil vähemusgruppe esindavate kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonide suutlikkust. Teeme seda nii riiklike kui ka riikidevaheliste väärtuste nimel. Me teeme seda selleks, et suurendada rohujuure tasandi kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonide vastupanuvõimet. Me teeme seda selleks, et edendada ELi põhiõiguste ja -väärtuste kaitset, edendamist ja teadvustamist ELis.
Me mõistame raskusi, mis kaasnevad rohujuuretasandi kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonina tegutsemisega. Kuidas võib olla raske leida oma tegevuse arendamiseks vajalikke rahalisi vahendeid, kuidas kodaniku- ja demokraatliku tegevuse ruum on kahanenud ning kuidas relvastatud bürokraatia, ahistamine ja kasvav natsionalism on teie tööd raskendanud. Eelkõige mõistame, kuidas see on Covid-19 algusega ainult süvenenud.
Tahame käsitleda neid piiranguid: asjakohaste rahastamisvõimaluste puudumine, juurdepääsu puudumine ELi struktuuridele ja mehhanismidele, mis kaitsevad ja edendavad inimõigusi, institutsioonilise toetuse ja sellega seotud partnerlusvõimaluste puudumine ning piiratud suutlikkus teadlikkuse tõstmiseks ja propageerimiseks ning kuidas see kõik piirab paljude paljulubavate organisatsioonide potentsiaali.
Taotlused 2025. aasta toetuste saamiseks on nüüd avatud. Tänavuste riikide programmide hulka kuuluvad Bulgaaria, Tšehhi Vabariik, Eesti, Ungari, Rumeenia ja Sloveenia. Lisateabe saamiseks ja taotlemiseks minge rubriiki “Taotluste esitamise ala” >.
