EuropeAid ha recentemente reso pubblici i risultati del bando DEAR “Raising public awareness of development issues and promoting development education in the European Union”, dedicato alla sensibilizzazione e all’educazione sui temi dello sviluppo da parte di OSC e autorità locali. Un bando importante per la sua dotazione finanziaria e molto atteso dalle organizzazioni e dagli enti perché rappresenta una delle poche opportunità di finanziamento alle attività di awareness ed educazione alla cittadinanza globale disponibili con una certa continuità. L’edizione 2016 aveva messo a disposizione quasi 93 milioni di euro per azioni di Global learning education e Campaigning & advocacy che coinvolgessero almeno 10 paesi dell’Unione. Il bilancio dei progetti approvati è molto favorevole per le OSC e LA italiane. Dei 23 progetti approvati 7 sono stati proposti da applicant italiani, 4 da autorità locali e 3 da ONG.
Il bando aveva sollevato diverse critiche soprattutto da parte della società civile a causa di una serie di nuove norme che rendevano di fatto più difficile la partecipazione di entità medie e piccole oltre che costringere alla formazione di mega-partenariati.
Ecco di seguito i sette progetti approvati con capofila italiano:
• COMUNE DI LAMPEDUSA E LINOSA – Snapshots from the borders – Small towns facing the global challenges of Agenda 2030 – 4.796.783 €.
