This call for proposals is geared to provide support for the development of good governance, effective public administration and institutional capacity building, as well as business development, gender equality, mitigation of climate change, and the fight against disinformation, including the disinformation that has arisen particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the context of digitalisation.
