Today, the European Commission allocated € 6 million to ensure the swift launch of the European Endowment for Democracy (EED). The allocation will finance the establishment and initial functioning of the Endowment, which was conceived in the framework of the renewed European Neighbourhood Policy. Its aim is to help political parties, non-registered NGOs, trade unions and other social partners in a coherent, concerted effort to promote deep and sustainable democracy as well as respect for human rights and the rule of law.
The EED will aim to help actors of change and emerging players who face obstacles in access to EU funding. It will offer a rapid and flexible funding mechanism for beneficiaries who are unsupported or insufficiently so, in particular for legal or administrative reasons. Such actors may include: journalists, bloggers, non-registered NGOs, political movements (including those in exile or from the diaspora), in particular when all of these actors operate in a very uncertain political context. This will be precisely the added value of the EED. (RAPID, 12.11.2012) 

Two new initiatives to boost private investment in the Neighbourhood region were presented today at the Strategic Board meeting of the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) in Brussels:
The Investment Security in the Mediterranean Region (ISMED) Support Programme will be implemented together with the Organisation of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and aims to enhance investment security in the Mediterranean region. The programme will carry out assessments to evaluate the level of investment protection provided by the local authorities, identify gaps and make recommendations to address them. €1.5 million are foreseen for this programme. 
The ISMED Risk and Cost Sharing Toolkit of the NIF will provide targeted measures like support to risk-sharing mechanisms (making funds available to help private investors by reducing their exposure to risk) and guarantee schemes addressing risk as a major obstacle for private investments. A sizeable part of the €220 million EU grants expected to be available to the Neighbourhood Investment facility until the end of 2013 will serve to underpin this important initiative.

The European Commission has today adopted a programme to support cooperation with the Eastern Partnership countries in the field of youth. Youth exchanges, raising awareness, voluntary activities, trainings and networking opportunities will be supported to strengthen skills of young people and capacities of youth organisations in the Eastern Partnership countries. In total, more than 1,400 projects will be financed involving about 21,000 young people and youth workers. The Eastern Partnership Youth Window, under the EU Youth in Action Programme, will provide funds to promote cooperation opportunities among young people, youth workers and organisations from the European Union and the Eastern Partnership countries. A special attention will be put to support disadvantaged young people living in rural or poor urban areas.
The Eastern Partnership Youth Window programme is designed to reflect the national and regional priorities within the Eastern Partnership region in line with the ''Eastern Partnership Roadmap 2012-13'', which affirms that the policy dialogue in the field of education, youth and culture will continue through the participation in EU programmes, such as Youth in Action. The EU funding comes from the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI). This is the main financial and cooperation instrument through which the funding is given to the Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) and Russia.  (RAPID, IP/12/1284, 28.11.2012)
