12/08/2025

The Human Rights and Democracy Network addresses a statement to EU leaders to call for better funding to civil society in the next EU budget.

Last week, as part of the Human Rights and Democracy Network (HRDN) we addressed a statement to European Commission, EEAS and Council leaders concerning the proposed legislation regulating the next Multiannual Financial Framework, with a focus on the Global Europe instrument.

We urge the European Commission, the Member States and the European Parliament to integrate the following priorities into the new Global Europe instrument:

1. A stand-alone and well-resourced allocation to human rights, democracy and CSOs, to maintain and expand the prioritisation of these thematic areas in suit of NDICI-Global Europe
2. Strengthening and resourcing Civil Society partnerships.
