issues.

Children & Youth
Looks at how stakeholders can ensure the fundamental rights in the Convention on the Rights of the Child are fulfilled for all children in the world. These rights range from the simple recognition of their existence through birth registration to their education and protection.
Climate Change & Desertification
Poor communities directly depend on natural resources for their livelihood and are the most vulnerable to a degraded environment, natural disasters and are the first to suffer from polluted air, water and soil. Sound natural resource use is at the core of effective strategies to strengthen resilience to climate change and reduce greenhouse emissions.
Communication
Effective communication is an essential component of successful EU-financed cooperation projects and programmes. Partners must plan communication activities from the start of their actions.
Democracy, Elections & Freedom of Speech
Democracy support ought to be comprehensive, long-term and adjusted to local realities. Electoral assistance, to promote genuine pluralist political participation, is an important entry point, but must go hand in hand with strengthening parliaments and political parties and promoting independent and professional media.
