GREAT

Global Rights Europeans Acting Together

GREAT is a a three-year, EU-funded project that was launched in January 2008. The overall objective of this project is to enhance the capacity and skills of NGOs in the new EU Member States to raise public awareness, mobilise public support, campaign and engage in policy dialogue at national and European level in support of strategies, policies and actions contributing to global development from a human rights perspective.

The specific objectives are three-fold:
1. To enhance the expertise and knowledge of NGOs in the new EU Member States on development issues from a human rights perspective;
2. To enhance networking strategies between European NGOs and with Developing country NGOs, highlighting the interdependence of the EU and developing countries;
3. To enhance the active involvement of NGOs in the new EU Member States in engaging their governments on global development issues from a human rights perspective;
