EU Civil Society Facility and Media Programme for the Republic of Türkiye 2024-2025 (2024-2025CSF) The overall objective of this action is to strengthen participatory democracy and the EU integration and approximation process in Türkiye through a reinforced contribution by civil society and media. The action will focus on strengthening operational capacities of civil society organisations (CSOs); improving CSO¿s monitoring capacities on human and fundamental rights; enhancing the right to freedom of expression by reinforcing the capacities of media actors. The action is articulated in ten projects, complemented by support measures for the overall implementation. Building on the results achieved through successful projects and on recommendations from external evaluations, it will include several activities providing financial support to third parties combined with capacity-building. CSOs working on human rights and fundamental freedoms and rights-based organisations are the action¿s main beneficiaries. Enhanced focus is dedicated to vulnerable groups and those in need of continued support or less targeted in the past by EU¿s support. In particular support will be provided to CSOs working on women empowerment and prevention and response to gender based violence; on rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Non-binary, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ) people; organisations and activists working on environment and climate change; organisations working on cultural rights, including minority rights, and, also in response to the recent earthquake, organisations working on disaster risk management.
