New Framework agreement with Belgian Developmental Agency
In December 2024 and January 2025, elbarlament GmbH signed three framework agreements with Enabel, the Belgian Development Agency for providing technical expertise under three lots:
- Lot 1: civic and political participation
- Lot 2: Technical expertise on European Union-Member State coordination in support of democratic governance in the intervention countries
- Lot 3: capacity-building services for institutional actors and civil society at global level and in the intervention countries
In the framework of Lot 1, we have just secured a contract for an assignment for “Mappings, Analysis and Knowledge Product Development on Civic Space and Local Democratic Governance”. The results of this assignment shall benefit the Team Europe Democracy Initiative, a strategic EU project that aims to enhance EU democracy support through facilitating joint EU-EU member states cooperation at HQ and country levels, among other objectives.
The Enabel project will nicely complement a similar assignment for the GIZ, where we provide the Secretariat of the Team Europe Democracy Initiative with technical expertise to support the work of TED’s working groups 1 and 3, focusing on accountability and rule of law, and media and digital democracy respectively.
