The Central Eurasia Project (CEP)
Deadlines: January 5, 2007; April 6, 2007; and August 10, 2007*
CEP uses grantmaking to international and indigenous NGOs to help build local capacity, bring international expertise to bear on the region, and promote cooperation between local activists and international civic movements in the fields of human rights. The ultimate goal of such activity is to strengthen civil society and construct support networks for civic activists within international structures and movements.
CEP requests proposals to provide program and general operating support grants to organizations focused on advancing open socie- ties in the region. Central Eurasia is understood to encompass the former Soviet republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as Mongolia.
Priorities for grantmaking in 2007 include the following areas:
--improving the effectiveness of human rights work in the region and fostering accountability for human
rights violations;
--aiding labor migrants from and within the region, and promoting grass-roots initiatives that focus on
protecting the rights interests of labor migrants;
--enabling local and international activists to address human rights and other abuses associated with the
region's cotton economy and the counternarcotics policies in the region; and
--combating and addressing the consequences of torture.
Organizations applying for funding may be based in or outside the region.
*Grants applications will be considered three times during 2007, with the following deadlines: January 5, 2007; April 6, 2007; and August 10, 2007.
