Summary
The objective is to ensure the participation of health NGOs in activities that are necessary to implement one or more specific objectives of the EU4Health Programme.
Detailed Call Description
Operating grants should provide support to the functioning of certain NGOs during 2022 for activities including awareness raising on various health aspects, communication and dissemination, capacity building and training, expert collaboration and networking.
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play a major role among others in providing aid at Union, national and local levels. In the field of health, and specially public health, they provide services directly to patients and individuals being in some cases in the first line of action also during emergencies. NGOs are also essential in bridging the gap between institutions and patients and facilitating communication at national and Union level. These organisations are not-for-profit and therefore necessarily rely on funding from different sources, for instance private donations, national or international contributions.
NGOs’ expertise and contribution is expected to be of added value in relation to NCDs, health determinants, ageing society, vulnerable groups and rare diseases. Poor nutrition, physical inactivity, obesity, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol are risk factors common to other chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases may also require attention.
There is a need to protect people in vulnerable situations, including those suffering from mental illness and those living with or most affected by communicable or non-communicable diseases and chronic diseases, and to promote activities, which address and prevent the collateral impact of health crises on people belonging to such vulnerable groups and actions that improve mental health.
