-
Outcome 2 – Increased citizen participation in civic activities
The projects that will be selected under Outcome 2 will aim to increase citizen involvement in public decision-making, increase civic participation and provide education in media literacy for VO’s and the general public.
ACF Malta seeks to strengthen the capacity and sustainability of the civil society sector through all projects under all areas of support being required to set aside a minimum of 5% of their grant to improve their financial management capacity.
Asylum-seekers and migrants is one of the target group of the programme and it shall be ensured through the open call that projects focusing on this target group are supported.
