Work programmes
It is implemented by work programmes, adopted by the European Commission by means of implementing acts. The citizens, equality, rights and values work programme for 2021–2022 has been published by the Commission.
Budget
In the course of negotiations, the CERV programme’s budget received a major top-up, more than doubling the originally proposed figure of €642 million to over €1,55 billion for the 2021–2027 period.
Civil dialogue group
The Commission is to set up a civil dialogue group. This is to ensure a regular, open and transparent dialogue with the programme beneficiaries and other relevant stakeholders, allowing them to exchange experiences and good practice and to discuss policy developments within the fields and objectives covered by the programme and other related fields.
Repeal
Regulation (EU) 2021/692 repeals and replaces Regulation (EU) No 1381/2013 (the previous rights, equality and citizenship programme) and Regulation (EU) No 390/2014 (the Europe for citizens programme).
It has applied since 1 January 2021.
The programme supports a broad range of organisations with a strong focus on civil society organisations active at local, regional, national and cross-border level, as well as European networks, public authorities, equality bodies and national human rights institutions, national, regional and local authorities, academia/research institutes, think tanks and all those involved in the promotion of EU values and rights. The programme supports the capacity of key EU-level networks and umbrella organisations through operating grants (e.g. the European network of national human rights institutions).
The projects supported include training, capacity building, the exchange of good practices between Member States’ authorities and bodies, and town twinning.
They also include supporting grassroots organisations and civil society, raising people’s awareness oftheir rights and the benefits of EU policies in their daily lives, and supporting the development of knowledge-based EU policies and legislation through surveys, studies, and analyses.
