Summary
The Early Warning and Monitoring Mechanism is designed to enable civil society actors, the EU and the Flexible Support Mechanism (FSM) to anticipate and react to changes in the enabling environment – an environment where civil society can thrive, express itself freely and actively engage in shaping its context.
Description
The EU System for an Enabling Environment for Civil Society is designed to document changes and shed light on critical trends in the enabling environment for civil society across 86 countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, the Americas and the Caribbean.
Through a series of actions encompassing monitoring at the national level, leading to the issue of early warnings which in turn inform timely support to groups in need, EU SEE supports civil society’s response in addressing challenges and opportunities within the enabling environment, proactively responding to legal and policy developments and other events that may impact their ability to operate.
