In 2022 EED continued its democracy to support work in the European Neighbourhood and beyond, funding 372 new initiatives.
In 2021, EED supported a wide range of civil society initiatives, political activists and independent and social media in the European Neighbourhood and beyond.
In 2020, EED funded 356 new initiatives selected from 1,048 applications for support.
In 2018, EED funded 145 projects in 25 countries, selected from 800 applications.
In 2016, EED supported more than 100 projects and pro-democracy activities.
EED’s activities focus primarily on the European neighbourhood (Eastern Partnership and Middle East and North Africa regions), the Western Balkans and Turkey. As far as possible, EED aims to ensure a geographical balance of engagement and funding between the regions.
Grants may also be provided for applications from countries in the area adjacent to the neighbourhood depending on needs, available funds, and political priorities.
