The Section for Turkish-Swedish Cooperation has promoted collaboration between the two countries since 2001. Based at the Swedish Palace in Istanbul, the Section aims to support civil society organizations throughout Turkey, to function as a resource for our partners, and to provide a platform for public debate. The Section´s support is guided by the Results strategy for Sweden´s reform cooperation with Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and Turkey 2014-2020. You can find the strategy here.
For 2020 we particularly welcome applications for projects that focus on:
-Creating opportunities for exercising human rights, especially freedom of expression and advancing democratic participation and accountability.
-Enhancing women’s and girls´ participation and influence in decision-making processes at all levels and in all areas, and providing forums where they can make their voices heard.
-Strengthening a pluralistic civil society that can work against social polarization and discrimination.
-Promoting a free and informed public debate on human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
We encourage projects that foster collaborations between different institutions and sectors of society; that include activities in multiple regions of Turkey and that are co-funded with other grant makers. We also encourage that a gender equality perspective is mainstreamed into the applicant’s organizational structure as well as their working methods and in the activities of the project.
