Daphne Program (Measures for combating violence against children, young persons and women)

Important Remark

From 2000 the Daphne Program (formerly known as the Daphne Initiative) is open to CEE-based NGOs. Also note that although projects may be multi-annual, they must be re-approved on a yearly basis for budgetary reasons.

Budget Line Number
B5-802

Budget Amount
5 million Euro (each year from 2000 - 2003)

Objectives

The Daphne Program supports preventive measures to fight violence against children, young people and women. More specifically, Daphne projects cover trafficking and sexual exploitation, all forms of domestic violence and abuse, as well as violence in schools and violence towards minority groups and migrants.

There are two main objectives:

1. To support and encourage NGOs, and other organizations, including public authorities, active in the fight against violence, to work together. This will be achieved through the establishment of multidisciplinary transnational networks and the exchange of information, best practice and cooperation.

2. To support the raising of public awareness of violence and the prevention of violence against children, young people and women.

Eligibility

The Daphne Program is open to all CEE applicant countries. It is open to NGOs, the voluntary sector and public institutions.

Geographical Area

EU, EFTA countries and all 10 accession countries.
