  1. INTRODUCTION
  The Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme (2021-2027)1 is the largest
  European Union funding instrument to protect and promote the EU’s values and fundamental
  rights enshrined in the Treaty on European Union (the ‘Treaty’) and in the Charter of
  Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the ‘Charter’), through its support to civil society
  organisations (CSOs), public authorities and other stakeholders active at local, regional,
  national and transnational level. The programme fosters civic and democratic participation,
  supports and enables civic space, promotes equality and non-discrimination and counters
  gender-based violence and violence against children.
  Organised around four thematic strands, the programme seeks to:
  protect and promote Union values (Union values strand);
  promote rights, non-discrimination and equality, including gender equality, and advance
  gender mainstreaming and the mainstreaming of non-discrimination (equality, rights and
  gender equality strand).
  promote citizen and civil society engagement and participation in the democratic life of the
  Union and exchanges between people of different Member States and raise awareness of their
  common European history (citizens’ engagement and participation strand);
  prevent and combat gender-based violence and violence against children (Daphne strand).
  The CERV programme contributes to the implementation of key EU legislation that forms
  part of the EU’s comprehensive response to both persistent and emerging challenges.
  Building on the policy initiatives supported under the 2023-2025 work programme, the 2026-
  2027 work programme also supports the development and implementation of new EU policy
  strategies and legislative initiatives in the fields of: (i) equality, inclusion and the fight against
  discrimination; (ii) democracy, fundamental rights, rule of law and civic space and
  participation; and (iii) children’s rights, youth and intergenerational fairness.
  These priorities reflect the Union’s continued commitment to protecting fundamental rights
  and values and are anchored in the mission letters2 of the Commissioners responsible for
  Equality; for Democracy, Justice, Rule of Law and Consumer Protection; for Internal Affairs
  and Migration, and for Intergenerational Fairness Youth, Culture and Sport.
  The 2026-2027 work programme builds on the experience and results of the programme’s
  first years of implementation and of the previous programming period, while adapting to new
  policy developments and operational needs. It benefits directly from the result of the mid-term
  evaluation of the CERV and of the final evaluation of the predecessor programmes3.
  The CERV programme supports a wide range of binding and non-binding EU instruments
  (see Annex A).

  In addition, it integrates new policy priorities stemming from recent Commission strategies
  and initiatives, as outlined in the list below.
  Indicative list of forthcoming and planned initiatives
  New Gender Equality Strategy 2026-2030 (to be adopted)
  New Anti-Racism Strategy 2026-2030 (to be adopted)
  New Strategy on Victims’ Rights (to be adopted)
  Report on mid-term review of the 2020 Charter Strategy (to be adopted)
  This work programme is consistent with previous CERV programmes, reinforcing the
  integration of fundamental rights, gender equality, non-discrimination and children’s rights
  into all supported actions. All beneficiaries and activities must uphold Union values as set out
  in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union and the Charter. Respect for these values is a
  prerequisite for eligibility and implementation across all strands. Proposals funded under this
  EU programme are encouraged to build on relevant results and to explore opportunities for
  collaboration and coordination with other EU-funded initiatives, such as Horizon Europe.
  2. BUDGET OVERVIEW FOR 2026-2027
  Based on the objectives set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/692 of the European Parliament and
  of the Council establishing the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme, this work
  programme presents the actions to be financed and the budget breakdown for 2026-2027 as
  indicated in the table below.

  with the support of international organisations, in compliance with the rules set out in the
  Financial Regulation.
  Procurement is the acquisition of a service by the Commission from a company (or economic
  operator5) selected following a ‘call for tenders’ procedure.
  Grants are financial contributions by way of a Commission donation that finance: (i) an action
  intended to help achieve an EU policy objective (action grants); or (ii) the functioning of a
  body which has an objective forming part of, and supporting, an EU policy (operating
  grants)6. The award of a grant generally follows a call for proposals procedure.
  Under the indirect management mode, the Commission delegates budget implementation
  tasks to third entities to achieve a set of EU objectives.
  Prizes are financial contributions given by the Commission as a reward following a contest.
  They promote the achievement of the EU’s policy objectives7.

  The Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers (DG JUST) will directly
  manage the implementation of actions, unless specified otherwise.
  A number of actions will be financed by the work programme by means of co-delegation8
  type I (Secretariat-General) and co-delegations type II and type III with other Commission
  departments, including PMO (type III), DGT (type II), DIGIT (type II), ESTAT (type II),
  SCIC (type II), COMM (type II), GROW (type II), and EACEA (type II), as specified in
  Annex I9 of the internal rules applicable to the respective CERV budget lines.
  5 Article 2(49) of the Financial Regulation.
  6 Article 2(33) and 180(2) of the Financial Regulation.
  7 Article 2(48) and 206(1) of the Financial Regulation.
  8 The European Commission employs various co-delegation models to manage the implementation of its budget, as
  outlined in the EU Financial Regulation. These models define how responsibilities for budget execution are shared among
  different Commission services and external entities. While the Financial Regulation does not explicitly categorize co-
  delegations into types I, II, and III, these terms are commonly used within the Commission to describe different arrangements

  EN 6 EN
  The Commission delegates power10 to implement actions in the citizens’ engagement and
  participation strand and the Union values strand to the European Education and Culture
  Executive Agency (EACEA)11. In addition, EUR 1 000 000 from the Equality, rights and
  gender equality strand will be co-delegated to EACEA for the call for proposals to promote
  children’s rights and enhance children’s engagement and participation. EUR 6 800 000 will
  be co-delegated to EACEA from the same strand for the call for proposals to fight
  antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred/racism.
  EU Member States and non-EU countries with which the EU has concluded an agreement12
  participate in the CERV programme. However, as indicated in the CERV Regulation, the
  European Parliament and the Council (the co-legislators) explicitly excluded the participation
  of non-EU countries in the Union values strand of the CERV programme. The non-EU
  countries that have concluded an agreement with the EU to participate in the programme are
  listed in each call for proposals13.
  Activities implemented under this work programme must ensure consistency,
  complementarity and synergies with activities supported by other EU instruments.
  3. GRANTS
  The indicative global budgetary envelope reserved for grants under this work programme is
  EUR 235 200 000 in 2026 and EUR 251 400 000 in 2027.

  Budget line 07 06 04: Protect and promote Union values
  OBJECTIVES
  Protect, promote and raise awareness of Union values and fundamental rights by
  providing financial support to civil society organisations that are active at local, regional,
  national and transnational level. These organisations play a key role in promoting and
  cultivating those values and rights, thereby strengthening the protection and promotion of
  Union values and contributing to building a more democratic Union, democratic dialogue,
  transparency and good governance.
  The overall aim of this call for proposals is to protect, promote and raise awareness of the
  fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter and the Union values enshrined in the Treaty by
  supporting local, regional and/or national civil society organisations. The EU funding should
  help to support, empower and build the capacity of independent civil society organisations
  active in the promotion of these values and rights and help promote, safeguard and raise
  awareness of Charter rights and Union values at local, regional, national and transnational
  level. This call should provide support to small, local civil society organisations and human
  rights defenders that are increasingly exposed to threats, including digital ones, attacks, and
  the effects of shrinking civic space, which undermine their ability to protect and promote
  fundamental rights and Union values on the ground.
  TYPE OF APPLICANTS TARGETED
  Civil society organisations (CSOs) active in promoting and protecting the rule of law,
  fundamental rights and democracy.
  A limited number of intermediaries in the Member States will be selected and supported
  under this call. The selected intermediaries should be capable of building the capacity of and
  providing support and assistance, including financial support, to a large number of CSOs
  active at local, regional and national level in the fields covered by the CERV programme.
  POLICY PRIORITIES
  2026
  Civil society has a key role to play in upholding the common values on which the EU is
  founded: the rule of law, fundamental rights and democracy. In particular, CSOs act as
  watchdogs to monitor the upholding of democratic values in the EU and contribute to
  checks and balances, together with independent courts and media.
  Many CSOs face growing difficulties in securing the necessary funding to develop and
  carry out their activities independently and effectively14. These challenges are also
  recognised by the European Parliament, which voiced its concerns in the 2022 report on
  ‘Shrinking space for civil society in Europe’15, by several international organisations and
  by CSOs themselves. Some of the challenges faced by CSOs have been further
  exacerbated by national measures taken in this context. Recent developments have shown

  that respect for EU values, including rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights,
  cannot be taken for granted.
  The CERV programme contributes to the EU’s efforts to uphold the rule of law, strengthen
  judicial independence and protect fundamental rights and democracy. T

Programma Comité-leden en National Contact Points staan via de klankbordgroep in contact met de Nederlandse programmadeelnemers. Het doel van de klankbordgroep is het informeren en raadplegen van de deelnemers en het verzamelen van input vanuit het veld. Bijvoorbeeld door het bespreken van de inhoud van komende oproepen, de resultaten van gesloten oproepen en de wensen voor CERV. De klankbordgroep komt 1 keer per jaar bij elkaar.
