The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Nigeria is accepting submissions for the Local Transformation Projects to help the development of civil society and thus contribute to the spread of democracy, the rule of law and the protection of human rights.

The aim of the project is to promote human rights and democracy in a specific area or for a specific group, not for development activities. The purchase of equipment may be included in a project because it is necessary to achieve the project’s objectives, but it must not be the main objective of the project.

The Local Transformation project must relate to one of the TRANS priority areas:

• civil society, including human rights defenders;
• freedom of expression and access to information, including media freedom;
• equal political and public participation;
• building rule of law institutions;
• equality and non-discrimination;
• protection of human rights in employment and environmental issues.

Funding Information

The Government of the Czech Republic contributes to each approved project an amount ranging from 100,000 – 500,000,- CZK depending on the scope of the project.
