NSA-Local Authority Thematic Programme
The 'Non-State Actors and Local Authority in Development' thematic programme is intended to be the successor of both the current NGO co-financing and decentralised cooperation programmes. It is “actor-oriented” instead of “sector-oriented”. It will support initiatives from civil society organisations, active in development and local authorities in order to promote participatory approaches to development. The programme will intervene in particular when geographical programmes are not the appropriate instrument and complement the support that other thematic programmes - in particular the programme on Democracy and Human Rights - can provide to the same actors.
